Impressionism

A movement in painting that "originated in France in the 1860s and I had an enormous impact on Western art over the following half-century.

The Impressionists were not a formal group with clearly defined principles and aims; rather they were a loose associa­tion of artists linked by some community of outlook who banded together for the purpose of exhibiting. The central fig­ures were Cezanne, Degas, Manet, Monet, Camille Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley.

Monet, Renoir, and Sisley met as students, and the others came into contact with them through the artistic cafe society of Paris. There were friendly ties of intimacy linking each of them, but Degas and even more Manet were set somewhat apart because they came from a higher stratum of society than the others, and the artists' commitment to Impressionism varied considerably. They were united to try to depict their surround­ings with spontaneity and freshness, capturing an 'Impression' of what the eye sees at a particular moment.

Their archetypal subject was landscape, but they treated many other subjects, notably ones involving everyday city life. Degas, for example, made subjects such as horse races, danc­ers, and laundresses his own, and Renoir is famous for his pic­tures of pretty women and children.
