Claude Monet was a founder and central figure of the 19th century art movement known as Impressionism. Early in his career, Monet painted realistic landscapes, but after the 1870s he focused more on the effect of changing light on everyday objects. Often he painted multiple studies of the same subjects, from train stations and haystacks to the London skyline, the Rouen Cathedral and, most famously, water lilies - (Monet's Impressionistic paintings sold well and his financial success allowed him to purchase property in Giverny, where he built a large garden that became the subject of his seriesWater Lilies (1906-26). Monet's scenes have since become some of the most recognized paintings in the world. One of his lily paintings sold in 1998 for around $39 million)
Claude Monet is known for landscape paintings. His other common themes include water lilies, his garden and his wife, Camille.
The important features of Impressionism are:
• Bright colors applied in dabs and dashes.
• Blues and violets are placed in place of grays, browns and blacks.
• Richly textured surfaces & blured edges
• No emphasis or center of interest
• Contemporary subject matter, every day life scenes.
• Cut-off and unposed compositions
