Impressionism for Dummies.
RJM
started in the 19th century by a bunch of French
guys who saw the light. They began painting in fields
where the light they saw came from. Instead of
applying pure colour on the canvas and brushing
it into place guided by notes and memory in the
studio they preferred to be out in the light mixing
on the palette colours they saw. They began to
paint the moment. To paint the light and colour in
the light and colour. They did not spend a lot of
time reproducing exactly the scenes before them.
This was a period when technological advance
produced machines that captured light in a box
that was transformed into images by chemicals.
The "Impressionists" not only saw the light they
had a pretty good view of the future. They were
modern artists.

And a few girls. Only a few. Berthe Morisot was actually given the coveted
privilege of displaying at the Salon alongside the highly superior male
artists ... of course I know you know that, probably much, much better than
I, but I love her paintings so much I needed to give her a wee plug.

You can bet he will, and he will do it with his usual eloquence.
I don't think you got the name quite right, though. For some reason, I seem
to remember it started with a *P*.
PJism maybe? Something like that.

It was called Punctilism, because not only were the artists painting with
little dots, but they were scrupulously on time for every affair.
This differs from earlier painters, who showed up while you were still in
the shower.
