May I suggest Post-Impressionism or just plain madness of the crowds. I have a theory that most Impressionists needed a good optometrist. I see an Impressionist world without my glasses, I do not see the insane world that Biscuit Basket Tisket Tasket or whatever his name was saw. Thank God !
I’ve heard a theory that Impressionism was a response to photography. If you wanted a perfect black and white reproduction you just took a picture, leaving the Impressionists only color. Once color photographs and printing were common artists just gave up.
There is a pertinent discussion of realism in art at:
