Skate’s Investment Summary Arst Claude Monet is classified by Skate’s as a blue-chip arst, the highest category in Skate’s rankings of arsts. For a complete list of arst categories, please refer to pg. 84 of Skate’s Art Investment Handbook. Based on Skate’s Top 5000 ranking of the world’s most valuable art (in nominal aucon prices, USD, and including buyer’s premium), as of May 3, 2010: • Claude Monet is the 2nd most valuable arst with 224 works in Skate’s Top 5000. His works have a combined market value of $1,468,759,274. • The average Monet’s work listed in Skate’s Top 5000 is priced at $6,556,961 (the average work in Skate’s Top 5000 is $1,910,251). Artwork Claude Monet’s most valuable works (in terms of market prices) were created during the period of his career between 1900-1920. Nine of his ten highest priced works were created during this period. The period of creaon for Effet de neige à Limetz – 1870-1890 – has also showed strong aucon performance, although Monet’s snow landscapes have generally seen more modest prices. Investment risk summary Effet de neige à Limetz is rated BBB+ on Skate’s Artwork Risk Scale (see Secon 14 for the full scale), which corresponds to Tier-4 investment grade art. Skate’s generally posive outlook is due to the work’s sale at a top-er aucon house. Though high for this peer group, the work’s pre-aucon esmate, the fact it was bought-in at a previous sale and the numerous changes in ownership does negavely affect its investment quality. For a detailed discussion of the risks associated with this painng, please refer to Secon 3 of this report. Skate’s, LLC, Copyright ©2010 3 Report 9-CM-001 Client 0010 May 3, 2010 3. Skate’s Artwork Risk Rang Effet de neige à Limetz is an investment quality work of art and rated BBB+, a rang that captures the following risk factors: Arst Liquidity Risk: Low • Claude Monet is a top Impressionist arst who enjoyed a long and prolific career. The market for his works is both broad and liquid. Arst Price Volality Risk: Low • Monet has a well-established historical track record of aucon prices. Mulple price points in the public domain allow accurate peer groups to be constructed. • The weighted average effecve rate of return (ERR) of Monet’s repeat sales in Skate’s Top 5000 is 0.04 % (based on a total 35 repeat sales of the arst’s works). Monet ranks 146th in Skate’s list of arsts by weighted average ERR (the average ERR in Skate’s Top 5000 is 4.18%). This low ERR, based on a substanal number of repeat sales, causes us to conclude that Monet’s price volality risk is also low. Title Risk: High • Many thes of Monet’s works have taken place during brazen robberies that have received significant aenon from the media, which makes Monet look like an arst highly aracve for thieves. According to Art Loss Register, however, he is only the 46th most frequently targeted arst for the. Authencity Risk: Moderate-High • Several forgeries of Monet’s works have appeared on the market, although the fact that Effet de neige à Limetz is being sold at a top-er aucon house should reduce authencity risk. Potenal buyers may wish to request a cerficate of authencity before entering a transacon. Condion Risk: Low • Effet de neige à Limetz is 124 years old and has experienced considerable travel along with nine changes in ownership. Potenal buyers may want to examine condion before compleng a transacon. Skate’s, LLC, Copyright ©2010 4 Report 9-CM-001 Client 0010 May 3, 2010 4.

  • Monet and American Impressionism
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resource Monet & Impressionism About the Artist Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. He enjoyed drawing lessons in school and began making and selling caricatures at age seventeen. In 1858, he met landscape artist Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) who introduced him to plein-air (outdoor) painting. During the 1860s, only a few of Monet’s paintings were accepted for exhibition in the prestigious annual exhibitions known as the Salons. This rejection led him to join with other Claude Monet, 1899 artists to form an independent group, later known as the Impressionists. Photo by Nadar During the 1860s and 1870s, Monet developed his technique of using broken, rhythmic brushstrokes of pure color to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects while depicting his immediate surroundings in Paris and nearby villages. During the next decade, his fortune began to improve as a result of a growing base of support from art dealers and collectors, both in Europe and the United States. By the mid-1880s, his paintings began to receive critical “Everyone discusses my acclaim. art and pretends to understand, as if it were By 1890, Monet was financially secure enough to purchase a house in Giverny, a rural town in Normandy. During these later years, Monet began painting the same subject over and over necessary to understand, again at different times of the day or year. These series paintings became some of his most when it is simply famous works and include views of the Siene River, the Thames River in London, Rouen necessary to love.” Cathedral, oat fields, haystacks and water lilies.

  • 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.
