impressionism

aims at becoming the reproduction of one impression on the artist's eye, and through his eye on his mind.

See also Cecilia Waern's comment on impressionist: ''They aim at being the reproduction of one impression on the artist's eye, and through his eye on his mind'' and that they try ''to reproduce, as nearly as possible, the same kind of physical impression on the spectator's eye that was produced on the eye of the artist by the object seen in nature'' (''Some Notes on French Impressionism,' Atlantic Monthly [April 1892]: 536, 537).
