 Claude Monet Impressionist Painter
Monet was the leader of a group of French artists called the "Impressionists," which included such painters as Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro.
Monet exhibited a painting called "Impression: Sunrise." His painting gave the group its name, coined in derision by critic Louis Leroy referring to the entire exhibition as "Impressionistic." Despite the financial failure of this first exhibit, the Impressionist continued to exhibit together until 1886.
Claude Monet was born November 14, 1840 in Paris, France.

 Claude Monet
Claude Monet was born in Paris but educated at Le Havre where, in 1858, he met Boudin who encouraged him to paint nature on the spot.
Claude Monet was the least satisfied with Gleyre's teaching and learnt more from Jongkind and Boudin; and working with them at Honfleur (1864), he began to paint the landscape in terms of its atmospheric appearance.
Perhaps the most astonishing of the late paintings were given by Monet's son Michel as a bequest to the Musee Marmottan in 1966, including 12 of the Nymphéas and 7 Ponts japonais.

Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, but he spent most of his childhood in Le Havre.
Monet's compositions from the time of the first Imprerssionists exhibition are extremely loosely structured, and the color was applied in strong, distinct strokes as if no reworking of the pigment had been attempted.
By 1859 Monet had committed himself to a career as an artist and began to spend as much time in Paris as possible.

Monet received crucial early guidance from two artists who specialized in painting seascapes out-of-doors, Eugène Boudin, a fellow painter from Le Havre, and Dutch artist Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891), whom Monet met in 1862.
The culminating honor of Monet's career was the installation in the Orangerie des Tuileries, a museum in central Paris, of monumental paintings of water lilies, on which he had worked for more than a decade preceding his death.

Monet continued to exhibit with the Impressionists on an irregular basis, choosing also to show his work at the Salon in 1880, in a solo exhibition at Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris in 1883, and at several of Georges Petit’s Expositions Internationales de Peinture.
Despite some success in 1865, when two of his works were exhibited at the Salon, by 1867 financial difficulties forced Monet to return to his family in Le Havre, leaving his pregnant companion, Camille-Léonie Doncieux, in Paris, where she gave birth to their first son, Jean.
In 1860, Monet met the landscape artist Eugène Boudin, who introduced him to plein-air painting, and he began to produce increasingly ambitious and naturalistic work.

Claude went on to study at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, but being a true rebel as always, rejected the schools traditional attitudes towards art, and left to study at the Académie Suisse, where he further refined his skills and met with fellow artists Camille Pissarro and Gustave Courbet.
Monet spent most of his youth in Le Havre, drawing caricatures of the locals, a talent which got him into trouble at school.
By the age of fifteen, Claude was selling caricatures for as much as 20 francs, which did not please his parents, who were well off from their prosperous business.

 Claude Monet
Monet never painted a nude, and one may suspect that his vast world of nature and the theme of water played in his art the role that the fantasy about women or children or mothers played in the imagination of other artists.
This theory rests on an arbitrary selection of old artists, however, and one can point to Ingres, whose last pictures, such as The Turkish Bath, painted in his eighties, are of an indomitable sensuality and sometimes surprisingly naive and tangible in the voluptuousness of the forms.
Or Pissarro, the fellow painter of Monet, who, beginning with idyllic pastoral subjects, painted in his old age streets and crowds, steamboats, factories, and people, the reverse of the process that we have observed in Monet.

 Claude Monet
This practice was to remain the central most important factor in Monet's art for the whole of his lengthy career.
The founder and prime exponent of Impressionism, Monet was introduced to the practice of painting outside (plein air) by Eugéne Boudin, a seascape artist who worked along the coast of the young Monet's hometown, Le Havre.
Over the ten years following 1862, led by Monet, these artists worked out the spontaneous technique of painting dubbed (derisively at first by the inevitably hostile critics) "Impressionism," that is; raw, simple strokes of color juxtaposed - rather than blended - on the canvas, to create a sensation of shimmering light.
