Though many art historians have argued that the late nineteenth-century painter's use of unfinished, sketchy brushstrokes was a deliberate rebellion against academic standards, recent findings suggest a more pragmatic explanation: the artist simply lacked the financial resources to purchase high-quality pigments, forcing him to rely on thinner, cheaper washes that naturally _______ a less polished aesthetic.
