"Merely think, here is a little square of
blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it
just as it looks to you." Claude Monet
• Originated in the last quarter of the 19th century as a reaction against traditional art and its strict rules
• A group of painters who became known as the Impressionists decided to gain independence from the standards prescribed by the French Academy of Fine Arts
• Impressionism covers approximately two decades, from the late 1860s through the 1880s.
• The term impressionist was first used by French art critic Louis Leroy in 1874 based on Monet's painting Impression, Sunrise. Leroy found the term fitting to describe the loose, undefined and "unfinished" style that Monet and several other artists applied to their paintings.
