In 1874 Monet and his colleagues decided to appeal directly to the public by organizing their own exhibition. The press derisively labeled them “Impressionists” because their work seemed sketchy and unfinished (like a first impression) and because one of Monet’s paintings at the exhibition bore the title Impression: Sunrise (1872, Mus?e Marmottan, Paris). Monet’s compositions from this time were extremely loosely structured, and the colour was applied in strong, distinct strokes as if no reworking of the pigment had been attempted. This technique was calculated to suggest that the artist had indeed captured a spontaneous impression of nature. During the 1870s and 1880s Monet gradually refined this technique, and he made many trips to scenic areas of France, especially the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, to study the most brilliant effects of light and colour possible.>

Claude Monet is generally considered to be the most outstanding figure among Impressionists. Monet’s art is based on the use of color to draw the motive without resorting to line. Monet was using short brush strokes, which often looked rather like spots of paint, not lines. This was a completely new way of painting that became the mark of Impressionism. He also produced series of paintings depicting the same scene at various times of day. His intention was to portray the different atmosphere engendered by the light at different times of day.
