The Artist
Claude Monet (1840 - 1926), the founder of Impressionism, was one of the most influential landscape painters in the history of art. Born in Paris, Monet studied in glennier's studio, where he met Renoir, Sisley and basil, who later became the core members of Impressionism. In outdoor paintings, he conveyed the fleeting effects of atmosphere, time and season through color and light. He removed black and gray from his palette and painted in natural colors, drawing a series of identical scenes under different light and weather conditions. Monet applied the study of the transient effect of natural light to the most refined expression, and finally becoming the pioneer of modernism in the 20th century.
