Claude Monet

Claude Monet on the WWW






 
Monet, Claude Oscar (1840-1926), French impressionist painter, who brought the study of the transient effects of natural light to its most refined expression. His experiments in rendering outdoor sunlight with a direct, sketchlike application of bright color became more and more daring, and he seemed to cut himself off from the possibility of a successful career as a conventional painter supported by the art establishment. By the mid-1880s Monet, generally regarded as the leader of the impressionist school, had achieved significant recognition and financial security. Despite the boldness of his color and the extreme simplicity of his compositions, he was recognized as a master of meticulous observation, an artist who sacrificed neither the true complexities of nature nor the intensity of his own feelings. Despite failing eyesight, Monet continued to paint almost up to the time of his death, on December 5, 1926, at Giverny.

The Claude Monet Home Page
The Claude Monet Home Page, Columbia University, most certainly is the best web site on the great imptressionist painter. It presents: an introduction to Monet and this site, a biography of the artist, an overview of impressionism, a discussion of Monet's methods and techniques, a formal analysis of one of Monet's works and a thematic analysis of the same work ("Four Trees"). Furthermore: Images: A sampling of the Poplars series, some of the famous Water Lilies. Really worth seeing.
