The group later known as the Impressionists first exhibited together in Paris in 1874. Organised by Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, the exhibition brought together artists who rejected the conventions of the Salon and sought to depict contemporary life and landscape with immediacy and direct observation. Though the show was initially met with scepticism and ridicule, the looseness of touch, clarity of light and emphasis on momentary effects soon became recognised as a turning point in the development of modern art.
Works on paper played a crucial role in this shift. Their portability allowed artists to work en plein air with greater spontaneity, and dealers quickly recognised the accessibility and commercial potential of exhibiting such works. By the time the final Impressionist exhibition was held in 1886, works on paper had assumed a significant position within the group’s practice.
Key works in the exhibition include a study of two jockeys by Edgar Degas, a large pastel portrait by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a comprehensive selection of works by Camille Pissarro, and a group of works by Eugène Boudin. Together, these examples reflect the intimacy of works on paper, the range of approaches adopted by the Impressionists and the growing importance of the medium within their practice.
