Page "Impressionism" Paragraph 28

The individual artists achieved few financial rewards from the Impressionist exhibitions, but their art gradually won a degree of public acceptance and support.

Their dealer, Durand-Ruel, played a major role in this as he kept their work before the public and arranged shows for them in London and New York.

Although Sisley died in poverty in 1899, Renoir had a great Salon success in 1879.

Monet became secure financially during the early 1880s and so did Pissarro by the early 1890s.

By this time the methods of Impressionist painting, in a diluted form, had become commonplace in Salon art.
