*‘In 1874[ce], a group of artists mounted an independently organized exhibition of paintings in Paris, in a deliberate attempt to find another outlet for their work besides the official Salon. One of the participants, Claude Monet, showed a picture with the title “Impression: Sunrise” (Musée Marmottan, Paris); several reviews of the exhibition picked on this title as reflecting the dominant characteristic of the works exhibited, and one critic, Louis Leroy, entitled his review “The Exhibition of the Impressionists.” Though none of the artists wholeheartedly accepted the label – it was used to describe paintings of many varied types – the title stuck to the group, and what originated as a critical quip has become the name of one of the most significant art movements of the later 19th century [ce].’
