Overview of impressionism
The word impressionism was neither invented nor approved of by those who participated in the movement, and conveyed little of their real artistic ambitions. It defies any easy definition. The name was first used in an 1875 article written by Louis Leroy, titled, Exhibition of the Impressionists. (The Thames & Hudson Encyclopedia of impressionism, 1990). It would refer to a group of artists who developed new ways of depicting the world and displayed works [that appeared unfinished] in exhibition between 1874 and 1886, in Paris.
