Claude Monet (Claude Monet, November 14, 1840-December 5, 1926), French painter, representative of the Impressionists and one of the founders. Monet is one of the most important painters in France. Most of Impressionism's theory and practice have been promoted by him. Monet is good at experimentation and expression techniques of light and shadow. His most important style is to change the method of drawing shadows and outlines. In Monet ’s paintings, he cannot see very clear shadows, nor can he see prominent or flat-painted outlines.


Monet is one of the founders of Impressionism and one of the most influential masters of Impressionism. Among representative Impressionist painters, only Monet, with his 86-year-old long life, consistently put his creative passion into Impressionist techniques. Other Impressionist painters are short-term explorers. For example, although he did not participate in the eight exhibitions of the Impressionists, he was regarded as the leader and founder of the impressionist Manet. Another example is Renoir who is good at painting characters. In his artistic life, the early and late periods were engaged in the period of Impressionist exploration. During the middle ten years, he turned his passion to classicism.


In 1874-1886, Paris held eight impressionist exhibitions, and Pissarro participated in each exhibition. He once said: "My life is completely in line with Impressionism." And Monet's fifth, sixth and final Did not participate in the exhibition once. Because the works in these three exhibitions have already run counter to the original creative methods. In order to maintain his faith, Monet refused to participate in the exhibition to show his resistance. This is Monet's consistent adherence to Impressionist creeds, and it is also one of the reasons why Monet has the most influence in Impressionism.


Monet can often tap its charm from ordinary landscapes. Monet observed the scenes in detail and was very sensitive to changes in light. Monet can draw more than a dozen works on the same scene. Such as "Gudui" and "Water Lily". This is just to express different weather and different appearances of the same scene, which is difficult for other painters to do.


Monet is like a hermit, and sometimes has a strong sense of loneliness. On the one hand, due to his character, he was silent and fond of thinking; on the other hand, because Monet was a pioneer in Impressionism, when he had to go forward alone, he naturally had a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
