»La 4ᵐᵉ exposition de peinture
faite par un groupe d'artistes indépendants«
1879
After the third exhibition in 1877
The painters who had previously met at the Café Guerbois moved to a new venue during these years: the Café Nouvelles-Athènes.
Café de la Nouvelles Athènes
It was already a meeting place for other writers, painters and many others, such as the old Courbet and the photographer Nadar. Among the Impressionists, Renoir was a very regular visitor, as was Pissarro. For Manet, the café was on the way from his flat to his studio. Monet and Sisley rarely came. Degas was often accompanied by his friends Raffaëlli and Zandomeneghi, some of whom would take part in upcoming Impressionist exhibitions.

Cézanne only came very rarely. He was almost an attraction with the worn clothes in which he appeared: "in a blue work coat, a white linen waistcoat full of colour stains and a battered hat" wrote Duranty, a writer and art critic. Cézanne was still working with Pissarro in the same rooms in Pontoise, but increasingly felt the need to isolate himself and create "something solid and lasting" with his painting in the south of France (Aix and the surrounding area), away from the big city, alone and undistracted.
The original circle had loosened up a little, but there was still an opportunity for discussion in the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes.

The financial situation of the artist friends had not improved, and for some it had even deteriorated alarmingly. Some were struggling to survive, often not knowing how to pay for their daily bread. And there was no sign of a ray of hope.
It became difficult for Monet, whose wife was expecting another child. He repeatedly asked many friends for support. Manet then lent him 1000 francs, which Monet was supposed to pay back with paintings (which probably never happened). Caillebotte lent him a sum, so his better-off fellow artists helped the others. The physician Dr Gachet, who was later to treat Vincent van Gogh and had already supported the Impressionists in many ways, also received a letter from Monet asking him to help him a little. Despite his plight, Monet continued his artistic activities almost without restriction. The Monet family lived poorly and modestly over the years, getting through the difficult times with the support of their friends.

Sisley had to seek help from friends and both Pissarro and Cézanne now found themselves in serious financial difficulties. Until then, Cézanne's father had supported his son with 200 francs a month. By chance, however, the father learnt of Paul Cézanne's marriage to Marie-Hortense Fiquet and of their son, which Paul flatly denied to his father despite all the evidence. Nevertheless, because the father was angry with his son, the monthly allowance was reduced to 100 francs. Emile Zola then took over the care of Hortense and their son for over a year, during which time they lived in Marseille.
Renoir also had to be modest, but tried to exhibit at the official Salon. The painting "The Chocolate Cup" was accepted.

He also accepted the commission to paint Mme Hoschedé with her children. This picture is unusually solemn for Renoir, painted with great care "to capture the atmosphere of a noble house", as Renoir said. A painting for which he was paid 1000 francs.

In 1878, a world exhibition was held in Paris from May to October. The Impressionists discussed whether they should attempt a parallel exhibition with Durand-Ruel, who was also organising an exhibition of Barbizon painters that year. The important painters of this movement had died between 1874 and 1878: Millet, Corot, Diaz, Courbet and Daubigny.
However, the Impressionist painters were against organising an exhibition at the same time as the World Exhibition. So they agreed to organise it the following year, 1879.
Fourth Impressionist Exhibition Paris
10 April - 11 May 1879
Paris, Avenue de L'Opera 28
246 works in the catalogue (15 out of catalogue) - 16 artists
The following year, 1879, the painters remaining in the circle prepared the fourth exhibition. They found suitable rooms. Degas managed to ensure that the word "Impressionists" was once again omitted from the announcement; they agreed on a "group of independent artists"
Only 16 artists were represented this time: Marie Bracquemond and Félix Bracquemond, Gustave Caillebotte, Adolphe-Félix Cals, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Ludovic Piette (who died shortly before the exhibition). Also present were Henri Rouart, Henry Somm, Charles Tillot and Albert Lebourg, as well as Degas' friends: Jean-Louis Forain and Frederico Zandomeneghi and, for the first time, the American Mary Cassatt. Shortly before the exhibition opened, a new artist joined them: Paul Gauguin, but he could no longer be included in the catalogue.

National Portrait Gallery,
Washington
Born into a family of bankers in Pittsburgh (USA), she began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1861. From 1874, she lived permanently in Paris and initially exhibited at the official Salon. When she met Edgar Degas, who had seen her paintings at the Salon, she joined the Impressionist group. "I accepted with joy," she later said, "At last I could work in complete freedom, without having to worry about the judgement of a jury."
Under the encouragement of Degas and Renoir in particular - even though she was never a pupil of either of them - her painting became brighter, more colourful and more self-confident. However, she kept away from the artists' meetings. She knew how to keep social life and painting strictly separate.Degas and Mary Cassatt share a love of drawing, unlike Monet. Mary Cassatt's paintings are characterised by a mixture of emotion and cool directness. Her favourite subject matter is women, especially mother and child.
She played a major role in popularising the Impressionist art movement in the USA.

Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin - Self-portrait 1878
Gauguin began painting around 1873 alongside his work as a bank employee. In 1876, he was admitted to the Salon for the only time during his artistic career. His models were Courbet, Delacroix and Corot, whom he was able to study in his family's collection. In 1879, he visited Pissarro to learn from him. He also met Degas, Renoir and Manet. This is how he was invited to take part in the fourth exhibition.
His paintings from this period are still clearly influenced by Barbizon painters, but the Impressionist element is already very evident. This early phase in the painting style and choice of subject matter of his work as an artist is less well known, but already of some quality. It is not certain which paintings Gauguin showed in the fourth exhibition apart from the marble bust, as none of his works were mentioned in the catalogue.One of the very few sculptures in an Impressionist exhibition

At the end of the exhibition, it turned out that despite the costs involved in organising the exhibition, there was still a surplus of over 6000 francs. As only a few pictures had been sold, it was decided to divide the sum between the artists. Each received 439 francs. Mary Cassatt bought a painting by Degas and one by Monet from the exhibition for this amount.
Sisley and Cézanne were rejected at the official Salon. The year 1879 was a financial disaster for Sisley. Manet and Renoir were accepted at the Salon; Renoir was favourably received by the critics. However, Renoir also mourned the death of a loved one: Marguerite Legrand, known as Margot, she had modelled for him for many paintings.
Claude Monet's wife Camille died at the beginning of September after 15 years together. She gave him two sons. Camille's death also marked a human and economic low point in Monet's life. Monet painted Camille many times, most recently on the morning after her death.
