They used high-key colors and a variety of brushstrokes, which allowed them to be responsive both to the material character and texture of the object in nature and to the impact of light on its surfaces. During the early 1870s, Manet was on friendly terms with the impressionists and adopted some of the same outdoor subjects. F inally, when impressionism is extended to cover the early work of Gauguin and Cassatt, it reflects an influence of impressionism on a slightly younger group of artists, in their color range, brushwork, and approach to nature. The sense of a shared approach to nature among the landscape painters had also dissolved by then, so that the artists increasingly took their own individual directions. Both museums exhibited many of these works, including paintings by Degas, Renoir, Gauguin, and Monet, in 1995.
