Abstract
This text written by Félix Fénéon in 1886 is a perceptive and informative response to Impressionist works shown in various exhibitions in Paris in 1886. Fénéon mostly focuses on the eighth and final Impressionist exhibition, but also comments on paintings shown at the Fifth International Exhibition (Galerie Georges Petit, Rue de Sèze) and the Second Exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists (Rue des Tuileries). Among the many works discussed are Edgar Degas’s series of pastels of women washing and Georges Seurat’s monumental painting A Sunday at la Grande-Jatte, 1884. In this text, Fénéon describes for the first time the development of pointillism.
