Description: Distinctive brushwork, peculiar viewpoints, and subjects featuring faces and places dear to the particular artist are all hallmarks of Impressionism. This essay heightens Impressionism's focus on the individual by bringing in the artists' words as an organising rubric. By now, many of these artists' names - such as Monet, Renoir, Degas -- and their individual styles are recognisable. Giving voice to their thoughts and observations provides an even greater sense of familiarity with the creative person behind the works of art.
