Impressionism @ 10:04 PM
Impressionism
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.
