Impressionist exhibitions

Impressionist exhibitions refer to art shows dedicated to displaying works by the Impressionist movement, which emerged in France during the late 19th century. These exhibitions often showcased innovative techniques like loose brushwork and an emphasis on capturing fleeting moments and natural light. Artists such as Monet, Degas, and Renoir used these exhibitions to challenge traditional academic standards and gain public and critical recognition. These shows played a crucial role in promoting Impressionism, allowing the artists to exhibit together outside the official Salon system and gradually gain acceptance in the art world.
