More from Claude Monet
"The more I live, the more I regret how little I know."
"I'm absolutely fed up with painting. I'm going to give it all up."
"Everything changes, even stone."
"I have painted so many water lilies and I am still not satisfied. I want to paint them perfectly."
"I want to paint the air in which the bridge, house or boat exists. The beauty of the air where they are. Yet it is nothing short of impossible."
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.
