More from Claude Monet
"I'm completely overwhelmed. I'm going to collapse."
"Now I really feel the landscape. I can be bold and include every tone of pink and blue: it's enchanting, it's delicious."
"It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly."
"I am working very hard, struggling with a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that I cannot keep up with it."
"I am only good at two things, and those are gardening and 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.
