Reply:Monet comes to mind.
Reply:Monet from Normandy was the painter who painted water lilies...he also followed Degas who was the first painter to paint 'landscapes' and people in the landscapes. Initially it was thought that impressionist painters were 'lazy' and didn't finish their work. However Money didn't want to paint details...he wanted to paint splotches of color. He had a fabulous garden with an array or different scenes...all of which he painted over and over.
Reply:yes Monet, he had a Lilly pad Garden and pond built in his back yard that was basis for many of his paintings.

French Painter, 1840 - 1926





Claude Monet, one of the most enduringly popular artists of the modern period, was a leader of the Impressionist movement. Monet influenced art by attempting to paint his personal, spontaneous response to outdoor scenes and events. Earlier artists had also painted outdoor studies rapidly, but they used such paintings as a kind of short-hand sketch which they would later elaborate in the studio.





Born in Paris, Monet attended L'Académie Suisse from 1859-60 and subsequently enrolled in the studio of Glenyre, where he met what would become the nucleus of the impressionist group. Most well-known among the painters associated with the impressionist style are: Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, and Alfred Sisley.



Monet was the most important of the artists who first allowed the initial impressions of outdoor scenes to stand as complete works. He captured conditions of light and atmosphere with bright colors and lively broken brush strokes. In 1874, he exhibited a landscape called Impression: Sunrise in a show. This unusual patchy, textured work caused one critic to dismiss the entire show as "impressionist", which gave the Impressionist movement its name. Monet became the Impressionist movement's leader and unswerving advocate.







In 1833, Monet moved to Giverny, planting the extensive gardens and lily ponds that would provide the inspiration for his later works.



Monet's fascination with light led him to paint several series of pictures showing the effect of sunlight on a subject. In these pictures, he painted the same subject at different times of the day in different light. One such study is found in the very popular Haystacks series.





Monet continued to travel widely, visiting London and Venice several times, yet increasingly he focused his attention on his country home in Giverny. There, his beloved water gardens inspired the mural-sized Water Lilies series that dominated his work for the remainder of his life. The swirling colors of the lilies later influenced painters of abstract art.
Reply:Claude Monet .. IN 1883 he moved to Giverny and made his famous garden.. this still stands today and is beautiful.. the painting is called Nymphieas and he donated it to the French Nation.. he made a lot of water Lillie's but this painting was the famous one.. I know he suffered from blindness but it seems he had cataracts according to time Magazine. and while he was working on this painting he was pretty much blinded. He had surgery in 1923 for it . he died in 1926. He had a lot of troubles with the painting Nymphieas. He changed it a lot .. and he was never sure if they were going to be able to display it .. lots of red tape. but you can go to the home and see the pond where he took his art from real life.

Reply:Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. His father was a grocer who moved the family to Le Havre, on the Seine estuary, when Monet was five years old.



Considered by many to be Monet's masterworks, Monet's paintings of the water lilies in his Giverny garden were concerned solely with the light, color and space of his lily pond. During this time, Monet wrote about his return to painting things "impossible to do: water with grass that undulates below the surface." The water landscape theme that Monet explored grew from his endless fascination with the play of light, water and reflections and with the enchantment that he beheld when he, as a strict realist, saw the water truly.
