	Impressionist music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Impressionist movement in music is a movement in music loosely set between the late nineteenth century, up to the middle of the twentieth century.
		Technically, the impressionists invented or began using a great number of new compositional techniques: multi-modality, planing (the use of voices moving in parallel motion; Debussy's prelude La cathédrale engloutie provides an example), extended tertian harmonies, and intentionally ambiguous musical forms.
		Impressionist composers also made extensive use of whole tone scales to create a dreamy, "hazy" effect in their works, much like the blurred paintings of Renoir and Monet.

	Impressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Characteristic of impressionist painting are visible brushstrokes, light colors, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, and unusual visual angles.
		Although Manet did not consider himself an impressionist, he led discussions at Café Guerbois where the impressionists gathered, and influenced the explorations of the artistic group.
		Impressionists took advantage of the mid-century introduction of premixed paints in tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes) which allowed artists to work more spontaneously both outdoors and indoors.

	Gustave Caillebotte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caillebotte inherited a sizable fortune, including the estate in Yerres, after his father's death in 1874, which funded his patronage of the arts.
		His painting style appears to belong to the school of realism, although he helped organize the first impressionist exhibition and enthusiastically collected impressionist works.
		At the time of Caillebotte's death, the Impressionists were still largely condemned by the art establishment in France, which was dominated by Academic art and specifically the Académie des beaux-arts.

		One of the most famous of all Impressionist works is Renoir's Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette (1876, Musée d'Orsay, Paris), an open-air scene of a café, in which his mastery of figure painting and in representing light is evident.

	Impressionism and Impressionist Painters
		Impressionist painting remains the most attractive period in the history of modern art and the most appreciated by the public.
		The Impressionist movement is thus well at the origin of a great artistic revolution, today still the object of studies and analysis, which will be put at the service of a new conception about the role and place of painting in society.
		If the Impressionist movement certainly is a group of painters having in common artistic ideas and researches, it also is on a more basic level a movement of painters refused at the Salon and trying to exhibit their works.

	Mark Harden's Artchive: "Impressionism"
		Since they were realists, followers of Courbet and Manet, the Impressionists set out to be "true to nature," a phrase that became their rallying cry.
		Impressionist painters like Monet and Renoir recorded each sensation of light with a touch of paint in a little stroke like a comma.
		The Impressionists remained realists in the sense that they remained true to their sensations of the object, although they ignored many of the old conventions for representing the object "out there." But truthfulness for the Impressionists lay in their personal and subjective sensations not in the "exact" reproduction of an object for its own sake.

	WebMuseum: Impressionism
		The principal Impressionist painters were Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, and Frédéric Bazille, who worked together, influenced each other, and exhibited together independently.
		If, at this stage, Impressionists were becoming appreciated, their situation was still harsh; the Salon was still refusing their paintings, and in 1894, 25 out of 65 artworks donated by Caillebotte to the Luxembourg museum were rejected.
		Yet, when Camille Pissarro, the Impressionist patriarch, died in 1903, everybody agreed that this movement was the main XIXth century artistic revolution, and that all its members were among the finest painters.

		The impressionist artists were motivated by a desire to make art reflect contemporary realities in culture and society.
		Like the term impressionism, post-impressionism denotes not a single style, but a variety of movements that developed between 1880 and 1905 as artists sought new subjects and new forms of representation to deepen the meaning of their work, while retaining such basic values of impressionism as concern for contemporary life.
		Twentieth-century artists such as Henri Matisse (1869-1954) have further explored the use of pure color, while Cézanne's spatial ideas were developed and transformed by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) in their invention of cubism.

		The Impressionist's first incarnation is Pran Nath Razdan, a spoiled teenager raised in the lap of luxury down-river from the Taj Mahal.
		The story could be considered a series of vignettes of different characters, all loosely connected together by the Impressionist's will to survive and meld into whatever world he finds himself in --- whether that's the stifling academia of Oxford or the decadence of a jazz club in Paris.
