 James Wierzbicki / Impressionism
Claude Monet, well-represented in the new impressionism show at the St. Louis Art Museum, was probably thinking only positive thoughts when he used a variant of the word in the title of a canvas he produced in 1872.
Monet called his work ''Impression: Sunrise.'' The critic Louis Leroy in turn wrote that Monet was a mere ''impressionist,'' an artist who - possibly shallow-minded, possibly ill-equipped with technique - abandoned the traditional painterly values of detail and clarity for the sake of self-indulgent blurs.
Impressionism is a form of program music, distinguished from that broader category only by the relative vagueness of whatever it is that is allegedly being depicted.

 P.I.T.E. - impression vs. impersonation
I understand how “impression” can refer to the process of duplication in situations like taking an impression of one’s credit card, but I wonder if “impression” is misused as substitute for “impersonation” in other cases.
