»5ᵐᵉ exposition de peinture
faite par un groupe d'artistes indépendants«
1880
Fifth exhibition in Paris in 1880
1 - 30 April 1880
Paris, Rue des Pyramides 10
232 works in the catalogue (3 out of catalogue) - 19 artists
The fifth exhibition was not a comprehensive presentation of the Impressionists. The term Impressionism still did not appear in the title of the exhibition at the instigation of Edgar Degas. It was called: "Exhibition of Independent Painters". Of the original Impressionist painters, only Pissarro, Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot (who returned after a break due to the birth of her child), Degas and Guillaumin remained. Mary Cassatt (who did not see herself as an Impressionist painter) and Paul Gauguin took part in the presentation for the second time. All other participants can only be counted among the Impressionists. Monet, Cézanne, Renoir and Sisley did not take part in the 1880 exhibition because they wanted to pursue other paths.
Rooms were found in the Rue des Pyramides for the month of April in 1880. The 19 artists brought together over 200 works. According to the catalogue, the following took part: Marie Bracquemond and Félix Bracquemond, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Jean-Louis Forain, Paul Gauguin, Armand Guillaumin, Albert Lebourg, Jean-Baptiste Léopold Levert, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Jean-François Raffaëlli, Jean-Marius Raffaëlli, Henri Rouart, Charles Tillot, Eugène-Vincent Vidal, Victor Vignon, Frederico Zandomeneghi.
The ladies were not mentioned on the poster.

The picture titles correspond to those in the 1880 catalogue.
The provenance information lists those research sources that indicate certain proof of the respective work in the exhibition or (•) a high probability.
Marie Bracquemond
Marie Bracquemond - Photo from ca. 1884/86 (Photographer unknown)
She was one of the three women in the exhibition. Incidentally, none of the three women were named on the poster or the advert for the exhibition. Her talent never developed, as her husband Felix was jealous of her success. After 1890, she gave up painting completely. She only took part in three exhibitions: 1879, 1880 and the last one in 1886.

Attendance was sparser than in previous exhibitions. The unusual, the different kind of painting that was perceived at the time, had somewhat lost its appeal of contradiction. However, there was still little sign of the necessary recognition.
In addition, the Impressionists who had cancelled this exhibition presented themselves elsewhere. Manet and Renoir were represented in the official Salon that year, but Sisley had been rejected again and was heading for a financial low point in his life.
Cézanne had already retreated to Provence and was also confronted with family and financial difficulties.
When Monet, who was also able to exhibit a painting at the Salon, but also organised a solo exhibition in the gallery of "La Vie Moderne" (magazine, Boulevard des Italiens, Paris) in the summer (a few months after Manet in the same place), was asked whether he was no longer an Impressionist, he answered a reporter's question as follows: "Of course; I am still an Impressionist and will remain one, but I rarely see my male and female colleagues any more. The small community has now become a banal school that opens its doors to the next best colour blob..." (E. Tabourneux: Claude Monet, La Vie Moderne, 12 June 1880) He was referring to those whom Degas brought to the exhibitions as his friends, such as Raffaëlli or Zandomeneghi.This drifting apart of the Impressionists is somewhat tragic. In their own group exhibitions, they were no longer the leaders and the ones in control.
They only saw each other very rarely in the group and no longer discussed the right path. The differences, both personal and on the subject, became too great.Odilon Redon, who will later take part in the last, eighth group exhibition, wrote about the 5th exhibition: (Impressionism) "is a very legitimate way of painting when it deals with the depiction of mainly external objects in the open air. But I do not believe that what goes on in the brain of a person who thinks and listens to his inner voices... ...can gain much from a tendency that only observes the external. ...All in all, these meritorious painters are working in a field of art that is not particularly productive. Man is a thinking being! Whatever role light plays, he cannot switch it off. On the contrary, the future belongs to the subjective world!" (Odilon Redon: Réflexions sur une exposition des impressionistes - 10 April 1880)
Despite the backward-looking attitude of the official Salon, the avant-garde artists' view of art had already developed beyond the Impressionists.
