| | Impressionism - definition of Impressionism in Encyclopedia |
 | | Impressionism was a 19th century art movement, which began as a private association of Paris-based artists who exhibited publicly in 1874. | | | The painting which "inspired" Leroy's label was "Impression Sunrise," and the obscure artist was someone named Claude Monet. | | | At the time when Impressionism emerged in France in the late 19th century, there was a renewed interest among artists (although not within the official art establishment) in everyday subject matter, however, this time there was a new twist. |

| | Impressionism was the epoch in art which marked the beginning of modern times. | | | However, Impressionism had outlived its usefulness as a style forming element; it was in the process of changing in a meandering way to many varied forms of painting. | | | Admittedly, without the intensive years of Impressionism, without its awakening of new and clear views, the development of modern art would certainly not have taken the spirited dynamic course which allowed art to become an adventurous journey into completely new dimensions at the turn of the century and in the 20th century. |
