Louis Leroy was the journalist and literary critique of the french journal Le Charivari, coining the famous word 'impressionism' in an attempt to denigrate the painters of the modern movement of his time. Such is the irony of nomenclature, that it thus was his fate that the name he gave birth to, would become the very standard of the artistic revolutionaries like Cezanne or Monet, and outdo his own. Impressionism and its fidels would a century later, uphold this name as one of the most formidable art movement in history.
