Eighth exhibition 1886 in Paris
15 May - 15 June 1886
Rue Laffitte 1/ corner Boulevard des Italiens
246 works in the catalogue (3 out of catalogue) - 17 artists
The idea of organising another, eighth exhibition emerged around 1885. Pissarro wrote to Monet on 7 December 1885: "For some time now there has been much talk of an exhibition. I was with Mary Cassatt and she immediately started talking about it. Could we talk about it too? You and I, Degas, Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot, Guillaumin, Mlle Cassatt and two or three others would form an excellent nucleus. The only difficulty is to come to an agreement. I think that, in principle, we should not organise a show of us alone (i.e. Durand-Ruel elements)." For Pissarro, the simple reason for excluding Durand-Ruel was that the art dealer did not think much of Seurat, Signac and their pointillism and criticised Pissarro for devoting himself to this type of painting. However, the painters' mutual understanding also diminished, with Pissarro labelling those still painting in Impressionism as "Romantics" of this style. In any case, the negotiations initially came to nothing.
At the beginning of 1886, Berthe Morisot and her husband Eugène Manet tried to persuade the friends to organise a group exhibition. It continued to be difficult, as Pissarro's request to include the painters Seurat and Signac was now added to the ongoing theme of "Degas and his friends", which met with little favour. As a result, Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet initially gave up their commitment.
Jean-Baptiste Guillaumin now tried to mediate between the groups. He considered it a difficulty that, with the departure of Degas, Cassatt and Morisot, those who were financially able to absorb any losses would not join in. For most Impressionists, money worries were still an issue, even if paintings could now be sold at slightly better prices. There were fierce clashes during the negotiations, especially between Pissarro and Eugène Manet. The inclusion of the Pointillists and above all Seurat's large painting "Grand Jatte", a picture measuring 207 x 308 cm, was a major point of contention.
In the end, a result was reached. Pissarro, Seurat and Signac were to exhibit together with Pissarro's son Lucien in a separate room. Gauguin agreed to participate, but brought his friend Schufenecker with him, which again led to quarrels and arguments. Much to Pissarro's annoyance, Berthe Morisot and her husband agreed to Gauguin's request. Monet now finally cancelled. His motives are not known, but it is assumed that the participation of Seurat and Signac was the deciding factor. Caillebotte, Sisley and Renoir followed his example. Monet will instead take part in a major exhibition organised by the art dealer Petit.
The rooms are located on the second floor of the Maison Dorée, a famous restaurant at the time.
New to the circle at the exhibition were: Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and Odilon Redon, as well as Pissarro's son Lucien Pissarro. Other participants: Marie Bracquemond, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Jean-Louis Forain, Paul Gauguin, Jean-Baptiste Guillaumin, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Henri Rouart, Emile Schufenecker, Charles Tillot, Paul-Victor Vignon and Frederico Zandomeneghi.
Organisation: Berthe Morisot and her husband Eugène Manet

This exhibition was once again the subject of heated public debate, ranging from euphoria to total rejection. There were only three painters still represented who carried on the Impressionist element: Berthe Morisot, Gauguin and Guillaumin. Some visitors found Degas' series of nudes indecent. However, as much as Degas' pastels were discussed, the greatest interest was shown in Seurat's painting of the "Grande Jatte", which dominated the room. The result was that the paintings by Seurat, Pissarro and Signac were difficult or impossible to distinguish. The public did not recognise the differences. Newspapers reported that the individuality of painting had been destroyed.
After the exhibition, one could witness the final break-up of the Impressionist group. Everyone was now trying to get ahead individually in exhibitions. They rarely talked to each other and hardly ever met. However, it should also be noted that Impressionist painting was now slowly being recognised and the individual artists were now achieving good prices. Durand-Ruel, who was now successful in the USA with his presentation, again played a large part in this. In the meantime, Impressionism had cast its spell over artists in other countries, e.g. Max Liebermann in Germany, Anders Zorn in Sweden and William Chase in the USA.At the end of the eight Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886, here are a few of the caricatures published in the newspapers about the exhibitions:
"Wait here for me, doll, let me go first, to make sure that no picture impresses you with your condition".
(Le Charivari, 23 May 1886)
With the Impressionists
"What are you doing here?"
"I've been told there's a lot of talent in this painting.... I'll see if we haven't hung it the wrong way round..."
(Caricature of PIF in Le Charivari, 10 April 1881)
