Best Answer

Impressionism was an art movement of the 19th century, which began as a private association of Paris-based artists who exhibited publicly in 1874.

The term impressionism originated from art critic Louis Leroy, who commented Monet's painting 'Impression: Soleil Levant'. Leroy said that it indeed was just an impression and that the work could not be considered finished.
