During the third impressionist exposure, in 1876, the painters themselves use this term of impressionism to identify their style.

The impressionist current rises from realism in this direction which it sticks to the observation of reality, but it moves away from there from this impression resulting from the vision from the artist, attache to seize the transitory one, the fugitive contents in an alive nature, which evolves/moves under the glance of the painter.
