Impressionism
noun (sometimes impressionism) in art, music or literature: a 19c style which aims to give a general impression of feelings and events rather than a formal or structural treatment of them:
a in art: a movement begun in France in the 1860s by artists who used bright natural colours to build up an impression of the actual effects of light rather than a detailed firmly-outlined image;
b in literature: the conveying of a subjective impression of the world rather than its objective appearance, as in the work of symbolist (see symbolism) poets and the stream of consciousness novel;
c in music: a style of harmony and instrumentation which blurs the edges of tonality, aiming for veiled suggestion and understatement rather than a detailed picture.
[19c: the name, coined by a hostile critic, was taken from Claude Monet's picture Impression: soleil levant (Impression: Rising Sun, 1872)]
