I saw a question today on Yahoo answers which I think deserves mentioning. It was whether Impression Sunrise by Claude Monet was an example of Color Art?
Now, first of all, what color art consists of would be the first question to ask. That was however not clarified. As such, there are really two options. Either we are talking about whether the painting is in color (which it most definitely is) or whether it can be consider color realism along the lines of e.g. Dutch master Vermeer (which it can most definitely not be). So I guess the main question is down to a definition of what is really asked.
At the least, I must say that any argument to the fact that due to its limited use of color, employing mainly a blue-grey color with the sun mainly standing out, obviously have not experienced sunrise across the harbor in Le Havre and how the light and fog interacts to create such effects. Such studies of light be the artist was actually the main subject for Monet, with the artists neutrality in forming the impression assured. As such, this is actually a study of light and color generated by certain conditions. So from here, color art it is.
