When

The term impressionism was first used in 1874 when a journalist ridiculed a painting by Claude Monet called: Impression – Sunrise.

Where

association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. at the first exhibition of the impressionists in Paris, in 1874

What

'Impressionism' subsequently became widely used to describe the type of painting practiced by this group of artists, who exhibited together eight times up until 1886.

Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects.

This is why most impressionist art is best viewed from a distance, to allow the characteristic broken, dotted or flickering brush work - so effective in capturing the quality of light - to merge into a cohesive image.

Key people

Manet prefered to paint everyday objects. Pissaro and Sisley painted the French countryside and river scenes. Degas enjoyed painting ballet dancers and horse races. Morisot painted women doing everyday things. Renoir loved to show the effect of sunlight on flowers and figures.

My opinion

There is a painting that can make a meaning is to change the world.

What is the master piece? Perharps, it is a way to make a value of new stream.

I thought impress is the representative of the real world view.

There are two different ways to express their feeling which is from their life style.

For example, Claude Monet shows us the real nature, that he used to watch, and

manet shows the city life. this is also interest thing to consider about impressionism.

impressionism is the meaning of the changing and expression of world's artists point of view, using the way to paint the light, color.

it is the main theme of expression in the art until now.
