The relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes and emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities are how the Impressionist art movement earned its name. The name came from <\/span>Claude Monet’s<\/span><\/a>\u00a0famous piece,\u00a0<\/span>Impression, Sunrise<\/span><\/em>. The movement began in Paris and was popular with collectors, despite being criticized by art critics. Impressionist artists, Like <\/span>Claude Monet<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Pierre-Auguste Renoir<\/span><\/a>, were considered radicals at the time but have since been recognized for their talent and contributions to art history.<\/span><\/p>\n
