"Impressionism" it's just a label that some newspaper critiques stuck on
a group of artists they didn't like. We all know it came from Monets
small painting of a boat at sunrise, titled "Impression Sunrise". It
stuck through the years and it is a handy enough label to get a feel for
one type of painting. If someone would like more carefully thought out
stylistic labels then go write a thesis with careful correlation to
music, literature and science, etc. It's just a label. I also love
Monet, and was very envious of friends who went to paint in his garden
rather than go to Taos.
