More from Claude Monet
"I'm so tired of these endless struggles. I just want some peace."
"I'm still fighting with the light, and I'm still not satisfied."
"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love."
"It's a trade I learned as a youth… when I was unhappy… Perhaps flowers are the reason why I am an artist."
"I'm in a foul mood, furious at myself. It's going very badly, I'm not pleased with anything I do, and I destroy as fast as I paint."
About Claude Monet (1840-1926)
French Impressionist painter whose Impression, Sunrise (1872) named the movement, and whose late Water Lilies series anticipated 20th-century abstraction. Closely associated with Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Impressionist co-founder) and Camille Pissarro (Impressionist mentor figure). For an intellectual contrast, see the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the Salon, the French art establishment of the 1860s-70s — The Académie rejected Monet and the Impressionists throughout the 1860s-70s, forcing them to organize the 1874 Salon des Refusés that became Impressionism's launch. Monet's career is the canonical example of an artistic revolution that bypassed institutional gatekeeping — the Académie's rejection inadvertently created modernism.
