Abstract

This essay provides comprehensive information on works by three artists known for their influence in the period known as impressionism. Highlights of the following topics will be discussed: Overview of impressionism; The Salon; Outdoor; Color; Patrons; Women; Japan; Crisis; Culture, times and Trends; Inventions; Biographies of the three artists, and finally descriptions and comments of the three works - manet's Luncheon on the Grass (Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe), monet's Luncheon on the Grass, and Luncheon of the Boating Party by renoir. These artists and specific works were selected due to the strong similarity of style and sameness of subject matter.
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.
