The third Impressionist exhibition in Paris, held at No.

6 rue Le Peletier, has eighteen participants.

Pissarro exhibits twenty-two paintings, all landscapes.

Monet, still in dire financial straits, exhibits thirty paintings, Renoir seventeen and Morisot nineteen.

Georges Riviére edits L'Impressionniste, a periodical defending Impressionism, during the run of the exhibition.

Despite the continuing criticism, some of the Impressionists are making themselves known, as much among art critics as among the lay public.

Degas, active in the show's organization, is known to admire the American Mary Cassatt, her drawing especially, and becomes her friend.

After the show, he invites her to join the group.

His style and that of Gustave Courbet inspire her own.
