  • Claude Monet (1840-1926)
    Caroline Mc Corriston Claude Monet (1840-1926) ● Monet was the leading figure of the impressionist group. ● As a teenager in Normandy he was brought to paint outdoors by the talented painter Eugéne Boudin. Boudin taught him how to use oil paints. ● Monet was constantly in financial difficulty. His paintings were rejected by the Salon and critics attacked his work. ● Monet went to Paris in 1859. He befriended the artists Cézanne and Pissarro at the Academie Suisse. (an open studio were models were supplied to draw from and artists paid a small fee).He also met Courbet and Manet who both encouraged him. ● He studied briefly in the teaching studio of the academic history painter Charles Gleyre. Here he met Renoir and Sisley and painted with them near Barbizon. ● Every evening after leaving their studies, the students went to the Cafe Guerbois, where they met other young artists like Cezanne and Degas and engaged in lively discussions on art. ● Monet liked Japanese woodblock prints and was influenced by their strong colours. He built a Japanese bridge at his home in Giverny. Monet and Impressionism ● In the late 1860s Monet and Renoir painted together along the Seine at Argenteuil and established what became known as the Impressionist style. ● Monet valued spontaneity in painting and rejected the academic Salon painters’ strict formulae for shading, geometrically balanced compositions and linear perspective. ● Monet remained true to the impressionist style but went beyond its focus on plein air painting and in the 1890s began to finish most of his work in the studio. Personal Style and Technique ● Use of pure primary colours (straight from the tube) where possible ● Avoidance of black ● Addition of unexpected touches of primary colours to shadows ● Capturing the effect of sunlight ● Loose brushstrokes Subject Matter ● Monet painted simple outdoor scenes in the city, along the coast, on the banks of the Seine and in the countryside.

  • Monet's Water-Lilied Defense Sarah Bietz
    Monet’s Water-Lilied Defense Sarah Bietz Abstract Claude Monet donated many of his water lily triptych paintings to the French government after WWI, leading critics to theorize that his artistic motivation was a patriotic love for his war-torn homeland. This paper explores other theories on Monet’s motivation to create the works. Drawing from the analysis of art historian Tamar Garb in her paper, “Painterly Plentitude,” I will argue that we should not overlook the significance of the water lily series as Monet’s final work. The painter’s health was deteriorating with his increasing age, and yet his last project was his most ambitious. Applying Garb’s thesis to Monet’s final series, it appears that his fascination with painting water, the association he made between water and death, and Monet’s choice of huge canvases all suggest that the paintings were an intensely personal project, rather than patriotic. Key Words: Claude, Monet, waterlily, Impressionism, Giverny, Garb, water, death, France, Camille CLAUDE Monet’s final series of paintings analysis to Monet’s Agapanthus (Figure 2 &3) consumed him. His series of water lily and his series of water lily triptychs, a new paintings, a project that he admitted was “an perspective of Monet’s series is constructed enormous task, above all at my age,” are now a based on his obsession with the appearance of wonder and a mystery to millions of modern water, his association of water with death, and viewers. 1 Critics study their colors, the shocking scale of his final masterpieces. brushstrokes, and compositions, speculating if Monet’s motivation was a response to WWI, a fascination with garden design, a result of his failing eyesight, or the expression of a mentality that belongs in the Narcissus myth.2 A different possibility is born in Tamar Garb’s article, “Painterly Plentitude,” in which she constructs a theory that Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s final painting, The Bathers (Figure 1), was an unconscious defense against the aging painter’s oncoming mortality.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

He was fascinated by the nature, sea and changing weather and found inspiration for drawing at a very young age. In high school, Monet studied drawing with Jacques-François Ochard, a local artist, specializing in boats, landscapes, and caricatures. At age 16, Monet’s mother died and his aunt helped support him, but he left school. By 1856, Monet’s caricature drawings went on display in a local frame shop and soon after met Eugène-Louis Boudin, the son of a sailor. Monet traveled with Boudin to Rouelles for painting in the open air, where Monet learned to capture sub- jects quickly. At age 18, Monet went to Paris exploring galleries and studios, and worked at the Académie Suisse. Monet and his fellow students Renoir, Sis- ley and Bazille, from the studio of Charles Gleyre, begin to take the first step into professional status: entering paintings into the Salon to receive money, a long and difficult process.

  • Exploring Impressionism: the Art of Claude Monet Teaching Resources
    Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Outreach Programs Exploring Impressionism: The Art of Claude Monet Teaching Resources Overview: During Exploring Impressionism, students learned to identify elements that made the ​ ​ ​ Impressionist art movement distinct from what had come before in European art. Teachers and students can continue their exploration of Impressionism by creating their own “series” artworks, writing letters to Claude Monet, or casting their vote for a favorite MFA Impressionist artwork. Curriculum: Visual Arts, History, Language Arts & Literacy Grade Range: 1 – 5 ​ ​ Monet and Boston: Lasting Impression The MFA brings together its unparalleled collection of Monet paintings for the first time in a generation—in honor of its 150th anniversary. Visit the online exhibition webpage to preview the artworks, download a ​ Monet virtual background, and explore related music and videos (including a 1915 video clip of Monet ​ painting beside his water lily pond!). Create your own Series Claude Monet often created painting series – numerous paintings of the same scene to explore the effects of light, color, time of day, and weather conditions over time and through different seasons, like Grainstack ​ (Snow Effect) and Grainstack (Sunset). Have students create their own series depicting the same scene at ​ ​ different times of day. 1. Gather materials: a. Paper b. Choose: Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers, or Paint 2. Choose a view outside your window or an area in your yard. 3. Plan two different times of the day to paint or draw your view. 4. Think about what colors would help you show the time of day, the weather, and the season. 5. After you have created the two works of art, show them to a friend or family member.

  • Artist of the Week: Claude Oscar Monet
    Artist of the Week: Claude Oscar Monet Lived: 1840-1928 About the Artist Claude Oscar Monet was a famous French painter who is one of the founders of Impressionism. [Fun Fact: The term comes from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise seen below.] Art of this style shows a “snapshot” of a moment- with a focus on the changing effects of light and color. These works of art focus on capturing an experience or a feeling. Since light changes quickly when painting outdoors, he had to paint very quickly. He is well known for panting outdoor scenes, especially water lilies. In fact, he painted a series (a group of pictures) that has approximately 250 oil paintings of them! Impression, Sunrise at the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, France Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies, The MET 5th Avenue Home Project: Observe and Create Art Give your child a chance to observe the picture above. What does it remind them of? What do they think the arch is in the upper portion of the picture? What is below it? Notice how small some of the brush strokes are in this painting. This artist painted this location during different seasons of the year- which season do you think this one is? Why? Create a Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies Inspired Painting Using Fingers [Remember: Creating art at this age is more process versus product. It is alright if your child’s picture looks different than you expect- this is their interpretation!] You Will Need: • Paint: Offer at least 3 colors (green, yellow, and blue are good base-line colors), but you could include more if available.

  • Monet January 22 – May 28, 2017
    Media Release Monet January 22 – May 28, 2017 To mark its twentieth anniversary, the Fondation Beyeler is presenting one of the most important and best-loved artists: Claude Monet. The exhibition will be a celebration of light and color, illustrating the great French painter’s development from Impressionism to his famous paintings of water-lilies. It will feature his Mediterranean landscapes, wild Atlantic coastal scenes, different stretches of the Seine, meadows with wild flowers, haystacks, water lilies, cathedrals, and bridges shrouded in fog. In his paintings, Monet experimented with changing light and color effects in the course of a day and in different seasons. He succeeded in evoking magical moods through reflections and shadows. Claude Monet was a great pioneer, who found the key to the secret garden of modern painting, and opened everyone’s eyes to a new way of seeing the world. The exhibition will show 62 paintings from leading museums in Europe, the USA and Japan, including the Musée d’Orsay, Paris; the Metropolitan Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Art, Boston and the Tate, London. 15 paintings from various private collections that are seen extremely rarely and that have not been shown in the context of a Monet exhibition for many years will be special highlights of the show. The exhibition MONET is generously supported by: Beyeler-Stiftung Hansjörg Wyss, Wyss Foundation Novartis Steven A. and Alexandra M. Cohen Foundation Federal Office For Culture FOC Buy your tickets online in advance: www.fondationbeyeler.ch Press images: Please visit our new homepage www.fondationbeyeler.ch and re-register for the press images download.
