Impressionism emerged first. Impressionism, characterized by its use of light and brush strokes to capture the essence of a subject, began in the 1860s in France. The movement's name comes from the title of a Claude Monet work, "Impression, Sunrise" ("Impression, soleil levant"), which was exhibited in 1874. Cubism, on the other hand, emerged in the early 20th century around 1907, led by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, focusing on abstract shapes and overlapping planes. Therefore, Impressionism predates Cubism by about four decades.
