What is Impressionism? 

Using images from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I give a simple definition of Impressionism as a style.
For more of my RU-vid visits to the Philadelphia Museum of Art go to:

All of the paintings in this video were on display at the museum in March, 2020. Click on the websites for an image of the painting and for more information about it. I have been unable to discover who created the E.L.B.O.W acronym. It is widely used and is all over the Internet.
