ARTIST DATA
Claude Monet
| Full Name: | Oscar-Claude Monet. |
|---|---|
| Birth: | 1840, Paris, France. |
| Death: | 1926, Giverny, France. |
| Style: | Impressionism. |
A leader of the Impressionist art movement, Monet’s paintings are recognized as the purest examples of this style. His importance is reflected in the price achieved by his oil painting "Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas," sold in London in 2008 for 40.9 million pounds sterling.
Monet laid the foundations of modern painting. His brush did not aim to tell a story or provide a moral lesson to the viewer, but rather placed impressions on the canvas based on sensations experienced by the eye. The pointillist brushstrokes, which he painted with the mastery of a true artist, are the origin of modern pictorial art.
