Instructions
Movement  in  painting  that    in  France  in  the  1860s  and  had  enormous  influence  in  European  and  North  American  painting  in  the  late  19th  century.  The  Impressionists  wanted  to    real  life,  to  paint  straight  from  nature,  and  to  capture  the  changing  effects  of  light.  The  term  was  first  used  abusively  to    Claude  Monet's  painting  Impression:  Sunrise  (1872).  The  other  leading  Impressionists  included  Paul  Camile,  Edgar  Degas,  Edouard  Manet,  Camille  Pissarro,  Pierre-Auguste  Renoir,  and  Alfred  Sisley,  but  only  Monet  remained  devoted  to  Impressionist  ideas  throughout  his  career.
The  core  of  the  Impressionist  group  was  formed  in  the  early  1860s  by  Monet,  Renoir,  and  Sisley,  who  met  as  students  and  enjoyed  painting  in  the  open  air  -  one  of  the  hallmarks  of  Impressionism.  They  met  other  members  of  the  Impressionist  circle  through  Paris  café  society.  They  never  made  up  a  formal  group,  but  they  organised  eight  group  exhibitions  between  1874  and  1886,  at  the  first  of  which  the  name  Impressionism  was  applied.  Their  styles  were  diverse,  but  all    with  effects  of  light  and  movement  created  with  distinct  brush  strokes  and    of  colour  dabbed  side-by-side  on  the  canvas  rather  than  mixed  on  the  palette.  By  the  1880s  the  movement's  central  impulse  had  dispersed,  and  several  new  styles  were  emerging,  later  described  as  post-impressionism.
British  Impressionism  had  a  major  influence  on  the  more    and    British  painters  in  the  late  19th  and  early  20th  centuries.  Many  of  the  painters  were  affected  in  the  circle  of  Walter  Sickert,  who  spent  much  of  his  career  in  France  and  was  an  influential  figure  who    many  younger  artists.  His  friend  and  exact  contemporary  Philip  Wilson  Steer  is  generally  regarded  as  the  most  outstanding  British  Impressionist.
