Claude Monet
Monet the founder of impressionist painting. The term is actualy derived from one of his paintings. (Impresions Sunrise).
Beginning his life work at an early age Monet started by selling charcoal caricatures. Many painters of the time would spend their time by drawing the works of the old masters, Monet instead would go outside or sit by a window and drew what he saw. Monet was not happy with the traditional art schools of the time and instead would try new approches.
He would work with the different effect of light, and with broken colors. This became later to be known as Impressionism, so I was inform from tarot card readings. His painting of ‘The Woman in The Green Dress’ brought him recognition as an artist in his own right.
Monet also broke old barriers in his study of colors in landscape art. It was after the death of his wife that Monet began to produce some of his best paintings. Late in life he would select a subject and then paint it in different seasons, weather conditions and light. He was fond of painting gardens and was one of the most prolific painters of his time period.
