Snider, Lindsay
History Teacher, v35 n1 p89-102 Nov 2001

Today, Impressionism is recognized as a major frontier in art history and the threshold of the modern art movement. In this article, the author discusses the development of the Impressionism art movement in France during the mid-1800s. (Contains 20 figures.)
