More from Claude Monet
"It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare."
"I am completely absorbed in my work, and I am not thinking of anything else."
"I have never had a studio, and I do not understand shutting oneself up in a room. To draw, yes; to paint, no."
"I'm so tired of this life. I wish I could just disappear."
"I want to paint the light, and I want to paint the air."
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.
