Question

The apparently sloppy approach of the impressionists enraged the critics so much that they made a special exhibit for them called the _______.

Answer 1

The exhibit was the Impressionist exhibition, named by critics after Monet's painting 'Impression, Sunrise'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The special exhibit created for the group of artists known as the Impressionists, as a result of their rejection by the traditional Salon and the critical disdain for their revolutionary style, was called the Impressionist exhibition. In 1874, determined to showcase their work, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and others organized the first independent exhibition apart from the Salon. The critic Louis Leroy coined the term "impressionists" mockingly after Monet's painting Impression, Sunrise, but the name was embraced by the artists and has since become synonymous with their distinctive style.

Answer 2

The apparently sloppy approach of the impressionist enraged the critics so much that they made a special exhibit for them called the Salon of the Rejected or Salon of the Refused.

Step-by-step explanation:

In French, the Salon des Refusés refers to exhibitions of art works that were originally refused by the Paris Salon's jury. The most famous of those exhibitions took place in 1863. Out of 5,000 paintings presented to the jury, only about 2,200 were accepted. The artists protested and got Napoleon III to organize the exhibition for the rejected paintings.
