This time, the show officials chose a landscape and a portrait Camille (or also called Woman in Green), which featured his lover and future wife, Camille Doncieux. The following year, Monet was selected again to participate in the Salon. Though Monet's works received some critical praise, he still struggled financially. Monet won acceptance to the Salon of 1865, an annual juried art show in Paris the show chose two of his paintings, which were marine landscapes. Monet liked to work outdoors and was sometimes accompanied by Renoir, Sisley and Bazille on these painting sojourns. He also received advice and support from Johann Barthold Jongkind, a landscape painter who proved to be an important influence to the young artist. Through Gleyre, Monet met several other artists, including Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and Frederic Bazille the four of them became friends. Returning to Paris, Monet studied with Charles Gleyre.
During this time, Monet met fellow artist Camille Pissarro, who would become a close friend for many years.įrom 1861 to 1862, Monet served in the military and was stationed in Algiers, Algeria, but he was discharged for health reasons. There, he was strongly influenced by the paintings of the Barbizon school and enrolled as a student at the Academie Suisse. In 1859, Monet decided to move to Paris to pursue his art. Boudin introduced him to painting outdoors, or plein air painting, which would later become the cornerstone of Monet's work. After meeting Eugene Boudin, a local landscape artist, Monet started to explore the natural world in his work. In the community, Monet became well-known for his caricatures and for drawing many of the town's residents. Monet suffered greatly after the death of his mother in 1857.
While his mother supported his artistic efforts, Monet's father wanted him to go into business. He filled his schoolbooks with sketches of people, including caricatures of his teachers. At an early age, Monet developed a love of drawing. While he was reportedly a decent student, Monet did not like being confined to a classroom. He grew up there with his older brother, Leon. In 1845, at the age of 5, Monet moved with his family to Le Havre, a port town in the Normandy region. A trained singer, Louise liked poetry and was a popular hostess. Monet's father, Adolphe, worked in his family's shipping business, while his mother, Louise, took care of the family. One of the most famous painters in the history of art and a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, whose works can be seen in museums around the world, Oscar Claude Monet (some sources say Claude Oscar) was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. Monet struggled with depression, poverty and illness throughout his life.
After an art exhibition in 1874, a critic insultingly dubbed Monet's painting style "Impression," since it was more concerned with form and light than realism, and the term stuck. Claude Monet was born in 1840 in France and enrolled in the Academie Suisse.
