  Impressionism (art) - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
The term impressionist struck Leroy as an appropriate description of the loose, inexact manner of painting of Monet and several other painters in the exhibition, namely Pissarro, Morisot, and Sisley.
Leroy argued that as soon as these artists had suggested an impression of a subject by means of a few abrupt, shorthand brushstrokes, they were satisfied and stopped work.
Especially influential in their practice of painting in the open air were French painter Eugène Louis Boudin and Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind, who were noted for their seascapes.

The show (Exposition des Impressionnistes) was held in the salon of the photographer Nadar and organized by the Société anonyme des peintres, sculpteurs et graveurs (Anonymous society of painters, sculptors and engravers), composed of Pissarro, Monet, Sisley, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Guillaumin and Berthe Morisot.

The excellence of Leroy’s chronometers is evidenced by this and by the nearly 350 medals it has been awarded by the Observatory of Besancon—a record to this day.
Among the most coveted Leroy timepieces is the automatic watch with calendar that is fitted with twin spring barrels for exceptional power reserve, and the Automatic Chronograph watch that records elapsed time instantaneously to a precision of 1/5th of a second.
Leroy has also introduced several variations of the Osmior Mechanical Extra-Thin, including a Grande Osmior that is crafted in a 42mm 18-karat gold case, and the Grande Osmior with Jewels, which features sapphires, rubies, emeralds or diamonds set intricately into the sides of the 18-karat gold watch case.

Within a few years of Leroy's review, the term, "Impressionists," had clearly stuck, not as a term of derision, but as a badge of honor, and a new movement was born.

 James Wierzbicki / Impressionism
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.
Prodded by Leroy's seminal condemnation of the ''Sunrise'' canvas, Monet and his colleagues soon enough accepted the challenge and proudly - defiantly - billed themselves as ''impressionist'' painters, and it was not long before their dealers began using the tag as a marketing device.
The paintings of which Louis Leroy approved were of the former variety, and that's why Monet's ''Sunrise'' - so soft-edged as to be barely recognizable as a picture of a dawn - was so bothersome to him.
