Description
This project examines Claude Monet and his impact of Impressionism. Monet, more than any other artist, is responsible for the public image of Impressionism that we see today. He founded the art form and even inspired the very term itself. Monet's numerous studies of changing light and atmosphere show how he stayed true to Impressionism throughout his entire career, even though many painters moved on to new styles. He once said that, "he wished he had been bom blind and then had suddenly gained his sight so that he could have begun to paint...without knowing what the objects were that he saw before him." His dedication to his work and his style helped to eventually develop Modem art.
