	Impressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Impressionism was a 19th century art movement, that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s.
		Impressionism rose at the same time that other painters were also exploring methods of painting that moved away from the subjects, forms and norms that dominated the art market at that time, for example Edvard Munch.
		When impressionism began, there was interest among the artists in mundane subject matter, and a new method of capturing images became available.

	American Impressionists
		Those American artists who lived in the village and painted in close proximity to the “father of impressionism” are now very much in vogue, and the value of their paintings has escalated markedly as a response to this mind set.
		American impressionism actually embraced a rather wide spectrum of styles and is not just a derivative adaptation of the sunlit fields or flower-filled gardens of Giverny.
		American impressionism is an excellent investment if you appreciate this art form, have an interest in learning about it and the “art world”, guard against hysteria and fads, and are patient in your acquisitions.

		It was the capital of the art world." Bostonians were among the first to go to Giverny, but their eagerness was swiftly passed on to the rest of the nation, and American impressionism, practised in many places, became a very popular style of painting in the US.
		The interweaving of an agrarian reformism, Transcendentalism and individualism in Boston's broader culture was amply reflected in the art that American painters and collectors brought to New England.
		That this was a Bostonian phenomenon, at least at first, was perhaps inevitable: Edith Wharton, a child of both New York and Boston, once complained that she was too smart for the former and too stylish for the latter.

	ROBERT VONNOH 1858
		But, like a good number of American painters of the period, Vonnoh was reluctant to surrender in his figure paintings the academic precepts he had labored so dearly to master, while in his landscape work, for which academia training had offered little preparation, he felt freer to investigate newer, more modern strategies.
		Vonnoh's "conversion' to Impressionism has been attributed to the influence of the Irish painter, Roderic O'Conor, who had adopted the bright, unmixed hues and thick impasto of Impressionism by 1886, and may have been in Grez as early as that year.
		And in 1886, a group of American painters, John Singer Sargent, Edwin Blashfield, Edwin Austin Abbey, and Frank Millet, were all painting poppy pictures in the art colony of Broadway in the West of England.

	Impressionism - A Short History of French and American Impressionism
		Although Eugene Delacroix (1799-1863) had taken an independent stand against the value of technical painting as the Academicians taught it, it was Claude Monet (1840-1926) who revolutionized art by organizing an independent group of artists who would exhibit their recalcitrant canvases in an 1874 show which would shock critics and public alike.
		Growth in the field of Impressionism did not end with the eighth Impressionist group show, and with the widely disseminated knowledge available to the general public today, quality is readily apparent which explains why there has always been an enthusiastic audience for the work of Richard Earl Thompson.
