Famous French Artists

1. Claude Monet

Claude Monet is arguably the most famous French artist of all time. His waterlilies are famous throughout the world and are studied in elementary schools globally.

Claude Monet was born in 1840 and passed away in 1926. He is best known as the founder of the impressionism movement. Furthermore, Claude Monet was the driving force behind this revolution in the world of art.

He was also the most consistent practitioner of the movement. The name is actually taken from a work he completed which was titled Impressionism, Sunrise which is often referred to as one of the most famous French paintings ever produced.

Claude Monet was known as a master of light. He had the ability to paint the same subject over and over again yet creating a completely different work of art because of his skills.

He is universally acknowledged as the best impressionist artists and his work is held as the standard that all others are judged by.

Claude Monet is best known for his series of water lilies, which he painted between 1896 and 1926. He also published series that explored smoke, steam, rain, and mist. His prolific collection contains around 250 works.

Quotes

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.

幕后故事



1926年的今天，著名画家莫奈去世。 Theresa Bonney/The New York Times

《纽约时报》当时的标题简洁平实：《克劳德·莫奈去世：著名画家》(Claude Monet dies; famous painter)。

这位法国艺术家于1926年的今天去世一周后，一篇时报的文章更加感情洋溢地赞扬莫奈是“艺术史上与一个概念，关于光线的概念紧密相连的著名人物之一”。

莫奈生于1840年，他因户外风景及再造光线的效果而著名，无论是睡莲、干草垛还是欧洲各大城市。

他在1870年代帮助建立的印象派运动的名称来源于《印象：日出》(Impression, Sunrise)，这是他描绘法国勒阿弗尔港口画作的名称。印象派这个称呼是一名评论人为了嘲讽而造出的，后来被莫奈及其他印象派画家所使用，其中包括皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿(Pierre-Auguste Renoir)及卡米耶·毕沙罗(Camille Pissarro)。

在他去世近一个世纪后，莫奈仍引人遐想。去年，他的画作《干草堆》(Meule)拍得8140万美元，其中包括佳士得的佣金，这在他的作品拍卖中创了新高。这幅描绘日落时分干草垛的画作反映着这位艺术家长久以来对光线的迷恋。

“这些水面和倒影的景象让我着迷，”莫奈在1909年写道。“作为一个老人，我无法触及它们，但我想将自己的感受表现出来。”
