‘Though the figurative aims of Impressionism can be regarded as the conclusion of 19th-century realism,* the method, which openly displayed the intrinsic means of painting, was an original one. Brushstrokes carried their chromatic message without naturalistic disguise; they pretended to be nothing but dashes of paint.** It was in this respect and in the all-embracing unity*** of colour**** and handling that resulted, rather than in its realism,# that Impressionism founded the new tradition of modern art. Other qualities that emerged in the 1860's had no immediate sequels in Impressionism.’#*
