Claude Monet (14 November 1840-5 December 1926) is a painter representing the French Impressionist.
Born in Paris in 1840, spent his childhood in Le Havre, Normandy.
Since I was a teenager, I sold portraits of people around me and caricatures of people.
Around 1856, I met Eugène-Louis Boudin, a painter of Gaiko group, and worked together on the Normandy coast. Eugène-Louis Boudin taught Claude Monet to capture landscapes in a bold way that is not bound by tradition, to observe nature from a new perspective, and to emphasize the effects of light.
In 1859, he moved to Paris to study painting, and copied the paintings of the great masters at the Louvre.
In 1862, Claude Monet joined Charles Grale's art school, where he met Alfred Sisley, Frédéric Bazille, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and together with them, they created outdoor paintings, a novel style that portrays changes in light due to space and time. Produced. Later it became known as the Impressionist.
The “Impression / Sunrise” exhibited at the 1st Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 was criticized as “This picture must have an impression” and later became the name of the Impressionist.
Claude Monet has created a series of works such as "Stacking Straw", "Rouen Cathedral", and "Water Lilies" to study light and color.
In his last years, he continued to paint while suffering from cataracts, leaving many works with water lilies and weeping willows as motifs. This late work influenced later abstract expressionism.
Claude Monet died of lung cancer on December 5, 1926.
