COLLECTIF PAROLES D'ARTISTE
Résumé
I sent a work that I painted in Le Havre to [the exhibition in Boulevard des Capucines in April 1874]. It’s a view from my window, withthe sun in the mist and, in the foreground, some ships’ masts... I was asked to provide a title for the catalogue. But the work couldn’t really be considered as a view of Le Havre itself. “Well,” I said, “let’s make it Impression”. So it became “impressionism”, and the quip did the rounds.
Maurice Guillemot, « Claude Monet », La Revue Illustrée, 15 mars 1898
