More from Claude Monet
"The essence of the motif is the mirror of water, whose appearance alters at every moment."
"The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute."
"Aside from painting and gardening, I am good for nothing."
"No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet."
"I want the inexpressible. I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house, the boat are situated, the beauty of the air in which they are."
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.
