Monet, the founder of impressionism

Claude monet claude monet (1840 ~ 1926) is a French impressionist painter. "Impressionism" almost represents the artistic trend of Europe in the late19th century. Impressionism includes art, literature, music and many other arts. The word "impressionism" originally came from Monet's masterpiece Impression Sunrise.

18401kloc-0/4, Monet was born in Paris. He once lived with his father in the seaside town of affret, running groceries. Since he was a child, he hated school, regarded it as a "prison" and wandered around the beach like a tramp all day. He said: "I would like to stand in front of the sea or on the waves forever." He likes painting, and the paintings painted by 15 years old have been hung in Budan's frame shop. He got Budan's advice: "Anything painted directly on the spot often has a kind of power and vividness with a pen that can't be found in the studio."

When he 19 came to Paris, his father wanted him to enter the Academy of Fine Arts and learn from famous painters. However, his rebellion made him refuse the academic education, linger in various art exhibitions, and get together with some anti-academic young painters to talk. Monet did not evade military service. He joined the African Legion and spent two wonderful years in Algeria, although it was extremely difficult for young painters. His father redeemed France because of illness. He painted on the beach in his hometown of Afreh, where he met Joan Kan, a painter who loves nature.

Monet, 22, came to Paris to study again and entered the studio of Greer, a classical painter. Here he met his classmates Bazi, Renoir and Sisley, and they formed a "Four Friends Group". The obedient three friends, together with Monet, began to tend to go out of the studio and learn from the Louvre and nature. After finishing my studies, I turned to Fontainebleau forest and my hometown to sketch. He began to describe the light and color of nature with originality.

Monet cares about the whole nature. In Monet's paintings, man and nature are harmoniously integrated into the scenery, sunshine and air, and all these are integrated into the painter's unique brilliant, gorgeous but harmonious colors like music. Color is a note that depicts a magnificent natural symphony! Monet studied color. When she was guarding her sick wife, he obsessively observed and looked for signs of fading on her face. What she saw was the subtle changes of blue, yellow and gray. He once said, "When you paint, try to forget the object, a tree and a field in front of you. Think of it as a small piece of blue, a long strip of pink and a yellow, and then draw the color and shape you observe accurately. Until you reach your initial impression. "

Monet attaches great importance to brush strokes, which become the soul of color expression. Different strokes can show different textures and dynamics of things. He used different strokes to fully express colors, so as to conform to the original appearance of nature. At the age of 29, I began to sketch and draw on the Seine with Renoir. They are excited by the flickering light on the water and confused by the ever-changing rich colors, so they naturally produce fast and rough brushstrokes and bright and mottled color blocks. They got an effective way to capture fleeting impressions.

Before the birth of the Paris Commune, Monet and the painter Bazi participated in the National Guard to defend the country, and Bazi died heroically. Monet later went to England, where he met pissarro and sketched in Holland. After returning to China, he painted with Renoir and exhibited the stunning work Impression Sunrise at 1874. After suffering, 43-year-old Monet set up a new family with his lost mother and Alice's son, and settled in the village of giverny, 40 kilometers away from Paris. He lived in seclusion for 43 years and created many works here, the most important of which is Water Lily. 1926165438+1On October 5th, the 86-year-old father of impressionism left the sunshine and color he loved forever.
