More from Claude Monet
"No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet."
"I want to paint the light, and I want to paint the air."
"I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture."
"I am tied to this garden and I will paint in it for the rest of my life."
"I never had one [a studio] and personally I don't understand why would want to shut themselves up in some room. Maybe for drawing, sure, but not for painting."
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.
