A movement, here are a few sites to explain: Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressionists * http://www.topofart.com/movements/Impressionism_and_Post-Impressionism/
