Impressionists that are bad

Well I’ve just watched a show with an impressionist who was on BGT

At least half his impressions didn’t sound much at all like the celebrities he was trying to impersonate

Had to say was extremely bored

I think a few impressions are good but can you really fill a whole show with too many poor impressions…

I think it’s possibly a thing of the past

What do you think?

The worst ones are those who have to tell you who they're impersonating! Surely that defeats the object.

Cézzane. Agree with Dalí: "Cézzane was a brick layer"

Find Pissarro pointillisme to be exercises in OCD futility. The brush should be a tool for expression.

I wouldn’t say Monet was bad, exactly but I do prefer Degas generally.

Indeed. Some very good Degas portraits and the multi-layered, horse-racing images. Intentional marks close-up, near abstract colour-block composition from far.

I wouldn’t knock pointillism. When viewed from a distance, pointilist dots blend in the viewer's eye to form solid areas of colour and achieve a greater sense of luminosity than traditional brushstroke methods.

They might be failing in your eyes, but one thing you aren’t failing at is sucking all the joy out of a room.

I quite liked the sort of fantastical nature of Monet. Degas always looked like the things he painted actually happened. Monet seems to be a little more aspirational.

Both were brilliant in their way.

Agreed. It’s just a preference and intended to move the conversation on.

You don’t need to defend your position!

Van Gogh was good too. I guess he was an impressionist too but unique at the same time.

Prefer the Dadaists. Max Ernst for one.

Returning to the topic, after that bout of artistic namedropping, Jan Ravens is a top class act and still in action.

I remember when Rory Bremner first started in the Eighties he would do famous people Like Des Lynham and Bob Monkhouse as well as politicians, he also used makevup and wigs to look like them, then in the late Nineties he got very pretentious and stopped using wigs and make-up and only did politicians, sometimes very obscure politicians.

I think the reason for that was he could get away with dodgy impressions of people most people had only vaguely heard of, Alan Milburn, for example, or people most people had never heard of, the shadow, junior minister of Overseas Development for example.

I nominate Captain Hindsight aka:- Sir Keir Starmer for his cringeworthy poor impression of a British Premier – even the incomparable late great Mike Yarwood OBE would put him to shame as PM!

Lenny Henry famously started his career as an Impressionist, winning New Faces when he was 17 with mostly impressions of White characters - Frank Spencer, Eric Morecambe.

Apologies for taking the thread down the wrong route because it’s been funny up until now. But, Starmer is a pretty awful impressionist.

Some folks never ever take a day off. 🤣

It’s almost like they are here only to make political statements.

Lewis MacLeod is probably the best male impressionist on the go at the moment. More so because many folks know his voice but not his name!

Yes he had the pic of the celebrity behind him

He used to behave like a complete idiot but it got him on tv and moved his career on

I like the fact they have made the effort to do some research in order to move the theme on. This is only a nonsense thread and doesn’t need you to take it seriously.

Maybe you’re the one failing to look intelligent
