Glossary
impressionist (noun)
An artist of the 19th-century movement who used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture the shifting effects of light and color. The term was coined as a sarcastic insult by critic Louis Leroy, who mocked Claude Monet's painting style as looking completely unfinished. Instead of being offended, these creative rebels proudly embraced the nickname, turning a bad review into a legendary badge of honor.
