问题 　　     The stylistic innovation in paining known as Impressionism began in the 1870’s. The
　 　Impressionists wanted to depict what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray
　 　fragmentary moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated on
　 　the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces,
(5)　stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light
　 　in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world
　 　from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous
　 　Impressions of theirsubjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors
　　 to complete the work form memory.
(10)     Some of the Impressionists’ painting methods were affected by technological
　 　advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in
　 　part by the advent of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the
　 　countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led
　 　to collapsible paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on tile spot.
(15) Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but from angry art lovers who
　 　felt threatened by the new painting. The term "Impressionism" was born in 1874,when
　 　a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their
　 　paintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public and
　 　press was immediate, and derisive. Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called
(20) Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840- 1926),Viewed through hostile eyes,
　 　Monet’s painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, slapdash,
　 　and an affront to good taste. Borrowing Monet’s title, art critics extended the term
　 　"Impressionism" to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in
　 　the exhibit adopted the same name as a badge of their unity, despite individual differences.
(25) From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the zeal of a "church", as the painter Renoir
　 　put it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist creed until his death, although many of the
　 　others moved on to new styles.
