More from Claude Monet
"While you philosophically seek the world in and of itself, I simply focus my efforts on a maximum number of appearances, in close correlation with unknown realities."
"Now I really feel the landscape. I can be bold and include every tone of pink and blue: it's enchanting, it's delicious."
"No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others."
"I'm having a terrible time with my eyes. I can barely see."
"You say you think of savings all the time but you cannot seem to manage to,' and he suggests it will do the children good to go without."
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.
