(1840-1926)
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a pioneering French painter and a leading figure in the Impressionist art movement. He was born in Paris, France, but spent most of his childhood in the coastal town of Le Havre. Monet showed an early talent for drawing and painting, and his passion for art led him to pursue formal training in the arts.
During his career, Monet's innovative approach to painting landscapes and scenes of everyday life had a profound impact on the art world. He, along with other Impressionist artists, sought to capture the fleeting effects of light, atmosphere, and color in their works. Monet's style was characterized by loose brushstrokes, open composition, and an emphasis on the changing qualities of natural light.
One of Monet's most famous series of paintings is his Water Lilies series, which depicted his beloved garden at Giverny, where he lived for much of his life. His fascination with the play of light on water and the reflections of the surrounding flora became a central theme in his later works.
Throughout his career, Monet faced financial struggles, especially in his early years. However, he persevered, and his art eventually gained widespread recognition and acclaim. Today, Claude Monet is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. His innovative techniques and dedication to capturing the nuances of nature continue to inspire artists and art enthusiasts worldwide.
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.
The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical 1874 review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.
Post-Impressionism was a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism. Post-Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists' concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour. Its broad emphasis on abstract qualities or symbolic content means Post-Impressionism encompasses Les Nabis, Neo-Impressionism, Symbolism, Cloisonnism, the Pont-Aven School, and Synthetism, along with some later Impressionists' work. The movement's principal artists were Paul Cézanne (known as the father of Post-Impressionism), Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat.
