Download or read book Painting with Monet written by Harmon Siegel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major reassessment of the methods and meaning of impressionism At pivotal moments in his career, Claude Monet would go out with a fellow artist, plant his easel beside his friend’s, and paint the same scene. Painting with Monet closely examines pairs of such works, showing how attention to this practice raises tantalizing new questions about Monet’s art and about impressionism as a movement. Is impressionist painting an objective attempt to capture reality as it really is? Or is it a subjective expression of the artist’s unique way of perceiving things? How can artists create a movement without conformity extinguishing individuality? Harmon Siegel reveals how Monet explored problems like these in concrete, practical ways while painting alongside his teachers, Eugène Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind; his friends, Frédéric Bazille and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; and his hero, Édouard Manet. At a time of major cultural upheavals, these artists asked how we can know reality beyond our personal perception. Siegel provides new insights into the aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical stakes for these painters as they responded to a rapidly changing society. Beautifully illustrated, Painting with Monet sheds critical light on how Monet and his fellow impressionists, painting side by side, professed their capacity to know the world and affirmed their belief in what Siegel calls the reality of others.

Book Synopsis Monet and His Muse by : Mary Mathews Gedo
Download or read book Monet and His Muse written by Mary Mathews Gedo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sets this study apart from the vast literature on Monet is Gedo's focused, jargon-free, accessible, psychoanalytic assessment of Monet and his relationship with his first wife and mistress, Camille Doncieux, and the impact of this complex relationship on the artist's work. Using this psychobiographical approach in conducting a careful reading of primary source material and Monet's paintings, Gedo (independent scholar) does much to debunk a good deal of the mythology surrounding the artist's life at this period. She offers fresh insights into the content of many of Monet's major paintings, particularly his figurative works that feature Camille as a model or subject. So, for example, Gedo proposes that Monet's Camille (or The Woman in the Green Dress) from 1866, via its composition, "functioned as a metaphor for the uncertainty characterizing the relationship between lovers," in addition to exposing publicly Camille as Monet's mistress. As is the danger when applying psychoanalysis to the study of art history, some of Gedo's assertions and interpretations approach the level of implausibility; however, these flights of psychoanalytic fancy are few and far between. The writing is engaging, endnotes are extensive but not oppressive, and the book is sufficiently illustrated with many images in color. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers.

Download or read book Frederic Bazille and the Birth of Impressionism written by Michel Hilaire and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays, paintings, and personal correspondence celebrates the life and legacy of Frédéric Bazille, an instrumental but largely unsung iImpressionist talent. The paintings of Frédéric Bazille (1841–1870) were rediscovered after the turn of the nineteenth-century by art critics and curators who credited the artist as an important pioneer in the development of Impressionism. Tracing his artistic career from its inception—including his links to Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Cézanne—this book unveils Bazille’s complete painted works. Organized both thematically and chronologically, this monograph also features facsimiles of the artist’s personal letters interspersed throughout the book on special paper inserts, and it is completed with a comprehensive bibliography, a list of works, and maps detailing his life in Montpellier and Paris. The book accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. from April 9 to July 9, 2017.

Book excerpt: Monet was the most typical and the most individual Impressionist painter. But while the painter was faithful and persevering in the pursuit of his motifs, his personal life followed a more restless course. Parisian by birth, he discovered painting as a youth in the provinces, where one of his homes, Argenteuil, has come to represent the artistic flowering and official establishment of Impressionism as a movement.
Book Synopsis Manet Paints Monet by : Willibald Sauerlander
Download or read book Manet Paints Monet written by Willibald Sauerlander and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manet Paints Monet focuses on an auspicious moment in the history of art. In the summer of 1874, Édouard Manet (1832–1883) and Claude Monet (1840–1926), two outstanding painters of the nascent Impressionist movement, spent their holidays together in Argenteuil on the Seine River. Their growing friendship is expressed in their artwork, culminating in Manet’s marvelous portrait of Monet painting on a boat. The boat was the ideal site for Monet to execute his new plein-air paintings, enabling him to depict nature, water, and the play of light. Similarly, Argenteuil was the perfect place for Manet, the great painter of contemporary life, to observe Parisian society at leisure. His portrait brings all the elements together— Manet’s own eye for the effect of social conventions and boredom on vacationers, and Monet’s eye for nature—but these qualities remain markedly distinct. With this book, esteemed art historian Willibald Sauerländer describes how Manet, in one instant, created a defining image of an entire epoch, capturing the artistic tendencies of the time in a masterpiece that is both graceful and profound.

Book excerpt: For Claude Monet the designation ‘impressionist’ always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classical compositions with figures, and he did not become a portraitist, although his professional training included those skills. He chose a single genre for himself, landscape painting, and in that he achieved a degree of perfection none of his contemporaries managed to attain. Yet the little boy began by drawing caricatures. Boudin advised Monet to stop doing caricatures and to take up landscapes instead. The sea, the sky, animals, people, and trees are beautiful in the exact state in which nature created them – surrounded by air and light. Indeed, it was Boudin who passed on to Monet his conviction of the importance of working in the open air, which Monet would in turn transmit to his impressionist friends. Monet did not want to enrol at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He chose to attend a private school, L’Académie Suisse, established by an ex-model on the Quai d’Orfèvres near the Pont Saint-Michel. One could draw and paint from a live model there for a modest fee. This was where Monet met the future impressionist Camille Pissarro. Later in Gleyre’s studio, Monet met Auguste Renoir Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille. Monet considered it very important that Boudin be introduced to his new friends. He also told his friends of another painter he had found in Normandy. This was the remarkable Dutchman Jongkind. His landscapes were saturated with colour, and their sincerity, at times even their naïveté, was combined with subtle observation of the Normandy shore’s variable nature. At this time Monet’s landscapes were not yet characterized by great richness of colour. Rather, they recalled the tonalities of paintings by the Barbizon artists, and Boudin’s seascapes. He composed a range of colour based on yellow-brown or blue-grey. At the Third Impressionist Exhibition in 1877 Monet presented a series of paintings for the first time: seven views of the Saint-Lazare train station. He selected them from among twelve he had painted at the station. This motif in Monet’s work is in line not only with Manet’s Chemin de fer (The Railway) and with his own landscapes featuring trains and stations at Argenteuil, but also with a trend that surfaced after the railways first began to appear. In 1883, Monet had bought a house in the village of Giverny, near the little town of Vernon. At Giverny, series painting became one of his chief working procedures. Meadows became his permanent workplace. When a journalist, who had come from Vétheuil to interview Monet, asked him where his studio was, the painter answered, “My studio! I’ve never had a studio, and I can’t see why one would lock oneself up in a room. To draw, yes – to paint, no”. Then, broadly gesturing towards the Seine, the hills, and the silhouette of the little town, he declared, “There’s my real studio.”Monet began to go to London in the last decade of the nineteenth century. He began all his London paintings working directly from nature, but completed many of them afterwards, at Giverny. The series formed an indivisible whole, and the painter had to work on all his canvases at one time. A friend of Monet’s, the writer Octave Mirbeau, wrote that he had accomplished a miracle. With the help of colours he had succeeded in recreating on the canvas something almost impossible to capture: he was reproducing sunlight, enriching it with an infinite number of reflections. Alone among the impressionists, Claude Monet took an almost scientific study of the possibilities of colour to its limits; it is unlikely that one could have gone any further in that direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para Claude Monet, el que se le considerara “impresionista” fue siempre un motivo de orgullo. A pesar de todas las críticas que se han hecho a su trabajo, siguió siendo un verdadero impresionista hasta el final de su muy larga vida. Lo era por convicción profunda y, por el impresionismo, pudo haber sacrificado muchas otras oportunidades que su inmenso talento le ofrecía. Monet no pintaba composiciones clásicas con figuras y nunca fue retratista, aunque su entrenamiento profesional incluía estas habilidades. Eligió un solo género y lo hizo suyo: el paisajismo, y en él logró un grado de perfección que ninguno de sus contemporáneos pudo conseguir. Sin embargo, cuando era niño, comenzó por dibujar caricaturas. Boudin aconsejó a Monet que dejara de hacer caricaturas y se dedicara a los paisajes. El mar, el cielo, los animales, las personas y los árboles son hermosos en el estado en que la naturaleza los creó, rodeados de aire y luz. De hecho, fue Boudin quien trasmitió a Monet su convicción de la importancia de trabajar al aire libre, que a su vez, Monet transmitiría a sus amigos impresionistas. Monet no quiso asistir a la Escuela de Bellas Artes. Eligió estudiar en una escuela privada, L’Académie Suisse, fundada por un ex-modelo en Quai d’Orfèvres, cerca del puente Saint-Michel. Ahí era posible dibujar y pintar modelos vivos por una tarifa modesta. Ahí conoció también al futuro impresionista Camille Pissarro. Más tarde, en el estudio de Gleyre, Monet conoció a Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley y Frédéric Bazille. Monet consideraba muy importante presentar a Boudin a sus nuevos amigos. También le habló a sus amigos de otro pintor que había encontrado en Normandía. Se trataba del holandés Jongkind. Sus paisajes estaban saturados de color y su sinceridad, que en ocasiones rayaba en inocencia, combinaba la sutil observación de la naturaleza cambiante de la costa normanda. En aquella época, los paisajes de Monet aún no se caracterizaban por una gran riqueza de color. Más bien recordaban las tonalidades de pinturas de los artistas de la escuela de Barbizon y las marinas de Boudin. Compuso un rango de colores basados en amarillo a marrón o en azul a gris. En la tercera exhibición impresionista en 1877, Monet presentó una serie de pinturas por primera vez: siete vistas de la estación ferroviaria de Saint-Lazare. Las seleccionó entre doce que había pintado en la estación. Este motivo en el trabajo de Monet es coherente no sólo con la obra Chemin de fer (El ferrocarril) de Manet y con sus propios paisajes en los que aparecían trenes y estaciones en Argenteuil, sino también con una tendencia que surgió tras la aparición de los primeros ferrocarriles. En 1883, Monet compró una casa en el poblado de Giverny, cerca del pequeño pueblo de Vernon. En Giverny, pintar series se convirtió en una de sus ocupaciones principales. Los prados se convirtieron en su lugar de trabajo permanente. Cuando un periodista que había llegado desde When Vétheuil a entrevistar a Monet le preguntó dónde estaba su estudio, el pintor le respondió: “¡Mi estudio! Nunca he tenido uno y no veo la razón por la que alguien quiera encerrarse en una habitación. Para dibujar, sí, pero para pintar, no”. Entonces hizo un gesto amplio para abarcar el Sena, las colinas y la silueta de un pequeño pueblo y declaró: “Este es mi verdadero estudio”. Monet empezó a ir a Londres en la última década del siglo XIX. Comenzó todas sus pinturas de Londres copiando directo de la naturaleza, pero completó muchas de ellas después, en Giverny. La serie formó un todo indivisible y el pintor tuvo que trabajar en cada uno de sus lienzos en algún momento. Un amigo de Monet, el escritor Octave Mirbeau, escribió que había logrado un milagro. Con aquellos colores logró recrear en el lienzo algo casi imposible de capturar: reprodujo la luz del sol, enriqueciéndola con un número infinito de reflejos. Como ningún otro de los impresionistas, Claude Monet adoptó una perspectiva casi científica de las posibilidades del color y la llevó hasta el límite; es poco probable que alguien más lograra llegar tan lejos como él en esa dirección.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the life and art of one of the most influential, modern painters of the late nineteenth century and founder of the Impressionist movement “Wullschläger emerges with a strikingly different picture of the artist. Passionate, prickly, edgy and unstable, her Monet, the unrecognizable Monet, is a powerful new character in art.” —The Sunday Times (London) Drawing on thousands of never-before-translated letters and unpublished sources, this biography reveals dramatic new information about the life and work of one of the late nineteenth century’s most important painters. Despite being mocked at the beginning of his career, and living hand to mouth, Monet risked all to pursue his vision, and his early work along the banks of the Seine in the 1860s and ’70s would come to be revered as Impressionism. In the following decades, he emerged as its celebrated leader in one of the most exciting cultural moments in Paris, before withdrawing to his house and garden to paint the late Water Lilies, which were ignored during his lifetime and would later have a major influence on all twentieth-century painters both figurative and abstract. This is the first time we see the turbulent life of this volatile and voracious man, who was as obsessed by his love affairs as he was by nature. He changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the center of his life changed; Wullschläger brings these unknown, passionate, and passionately committed women to the foreground. Monet's closest friend was Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau; strong intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust, as well as to his friends Manet, Renoir, and Pissarro. Brilliant and absorbing, this biography will forever change our understanding of Monet's life and work.
