Impressionism or not ?

Impressionistic art really took a polar opposite turn in the world of art. Many people hated it (and still do), but some people saw the true beauty in it from the start and the feeling eventually spread and has become very popular among many famous artists.
Many people dislike this era’s paintings because they seem “messy” and “unfinished”. Monet’s piece, Der Rosenweg in Giverny (The Rose-Way in Giverny) comes to mind when I bring this up.
Art is subjective. You must relate to it in order to understand it. Art is one of the few things that you could argue could potentially represent several different ideas and feelings at once. It depends on what the viewer sees and how they interpret it.
