impressionist tradition ... it is typically French phenomenon

That's what I'm talking about that French artists in search of ways to develop their art artistic tradition, finding ever new ways of its original expression. What and Russian artists could wish for.

When Monet groping evolving its pictorial language, he keenly watched for its independence. For example, working in the open air with Renoir and noticing some similarities in the methods of the stroke, he tried to let him go, not to suffer an involuntary interference. When Pissarro, who was at times thrown it at that, then the other side, suddenly began writing technique of Georges Seurat puantilisticheskim - Claude Monet at the meeting ironically greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Sera."
