In turn, impression came to describe the movement as a whole. By the 1860s, "impression" was used by transference to describe a painting which relayed such an effect. In critic Louis Leroys review of the 1874 exhibition, "The Exhibition of the Impressionists" for the newspaper Le Charivari, he used "Impressionism" to describe the new style of work displayed, which he said was typified by Monet’s painting of the same name.īefore the 1860s and the debut of Impression, Sunrise, the term "impressionism" was originally used to describe the effect of a natural scene on a painter, and the effect of a painting on the viewer. Both associated with the school, Daubigny and Manet had been known to use the term to describe their own works. It had been used for some time to describe the effect of paintings from the Barbizon school. While the title of the painting seemed to be chosen in haste for the catalogue, the term "Impressionism" was not new. Monet claimed that he titled the painting Impression, Sunrise due to his hazy painting style in his depiction of the subject: "They asked me for a title for the catalogue, it couldnt really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: Put Impression." In addition to this explanation for the title of the work, art historian Paul Smith claims that Monet might have named the painting Impression to excuse his painting from accusations of being unfinished or lacking descriptive detail, but Monet received these criticisms regardless of the title. It is now displayed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. Impression, Sunrise depicts the port of Le Havre, Monets hometown. The painting is credited with inspiring the name of the Impressionist movement.
