Impressionism, a historical reconstruction

8 ‘impressionist’ expositions

1874 – 1886

Starting page

 

Introduction:
Starting in 1874 and ending in 1886 there were 8 group expositions held in Paris. These expositions were independent from the official Paris Salon-des-Beaux-Arts. Nowadays these expositions are known as the ‘impressionist’ expositions and they had an important influence on art-history.
On this page you will find links to info about these expositions, the eight catalogues, the partaking artists (with links to the exhibited paintings) and overviews of used techniques.
Note: Some partakers did exhibit outside the catalogue (=hc). In total there were 56+2hc-1=57 partakers. Comtesse de Rambure, who exhibited in 1886 outside the catalogue (=hc), probably is the same person as ‘Jacques François‘, who exhibited in 1876 + 1877.
