"I am absolutely exhausted and have not had a moment's rest. I am completely worn out."
"I'm absolutely desperate. I'm going to throw in the towel."
"Aside from painting and gardening, I am good for nothing."
"These palm trees [in Bordighera, Italy] are driving me crazy; and also the motifs are extremely difficult to render, to put down on canvas; everywhere is so lush."
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.
