The document discusses Impressionism and provides context around the origins and development of the Impressionist art movement in France during the late 19th century. It mentions that the term "Impressionism" originated from a critical review of an exhibition by Monet, Pissarro, Renoir and others. While the artists initially disliked the term, it eventually spread and was used by Henry James to describe their style of painting. The document lists many Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists and some of their notable works from that era.
