These artists constructed their pictures with freely brushed colors that took precedence over lines and contours. Impressionism is a 19th century art movement that was originated by a group of Paris-based artists, including Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, August Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley, as well as the American artist Mary Cassatt.
flâneur: A man who observes society, usually in urban settings a "people-watcher.". A distant view or prospect, especially one seen through an opening, avenue, or passage. Vista: From Italian vista ("view, sight"). En Plein air: En plein air is a French expression that means "in the open air," and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting on the ground") in French. Impressionists typically painted scenes of modern life and often painted outdoors or en plein air. The individual artists achieved few financial rewards from the impressionist exhibitions, but their art gradually won a degree of public acceptance and support. 
The Impressionists exhibited together eight times between 18. During the latter part of 1873, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Sisley organized the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs ("Cooperative and Anonymous Association of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers") to exhibit their artworks independently to mixed critical response. Impressionist works characteristically portray overall visual effects instead of details, and use short, "broken" brush strokes of mixed and unmixed color to achieve an effect of intense color vibration. The term " impressionism " is derived from the title of Claude Monet's painting, Impression, soleil levant ("Impression, Sunrise").
