EImpressionism
- An art movement and
style of painting
that started in France during the 1860s. Impressionist artists
tried to paint candid glimpses
of their subjects showing
the effects of sunlight on things at different times of day. The
leaders of this movement were:
Camille Pissarro (French, 1830-1903), Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917),
Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926), and Pierre Renoir (French, 1841-1919).
Some of the early work of Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906)
fits into this style, though his later work so transcends it that
it belongs to another movement known as Post-Impressionism.
