ldquo;I paint what I see and not what it pleases others to see.rdquo; What other words than these of Eacute;douard Manet; seemingly so different from the sentiments of Monet or Renoir; could best define the Impressionist movement? Without a doubt; this singularity was explained when; shortly before his death; Claude Monet wrote: ldquo;I remain sorry to have been the cause of the name given to a group the majority of which did not have anything Impressionist.rdquo;In this work; Nathalia Brodskaiuml;a examines the contradictions of this late 19th-century movement through the paradox of a group who; while forming a coherent ensemble; favoured the affirmation of artistic individuals. Between academic art and the birth of modern; non-figurative painting; the road to recognition was long. Analysing the founding elements of the movement; the author follows; through the works of each of the artists; how the demand for individuality gave rise to modern painting.
