April 29, 1874
Four articles from contemporary newspapers and I cannot find the name of the exhibition in any one of them. The closest I have got is: "exhibition on the boulevard des Capucines"

first members of this movement were:Monet ,Renoir,Sisley, Bazille
soon they met Pissaro , Morisot and Guillaumin. these young artists used to gather in caffes like Monmarter and Bazille's workshop. later on Degas and Manet joint their movement and had The unnamed painters and sculptor and printers' society . they had an exhibition in 1874 in Nadar photographer. it was in this exhibition that a reporter gave the name "Impressionism" to this movement from the name of a Manet painting(impression: sunraise)
they also had many other exhibitions . in each exhibition not all of the members participated. eg.Caillebott was in the second one.
