... proclaimed the supremacy of light. Monet and Degas rid their pictures of any literary meaning, thus smashing the accepted convention that all art should have a strong narrative content. To the Impressionists it was not form or content that mattered, but light. Light that spans eternity. It was with their first group show in Paris in 1874 that the great names of Degas, Monet, Pissaro, Renoir and Sisley ...
... by trying to arrive at a new plane—a plane of colour of each object. Q. Who set about achieving these aims ? Was it Courbet or Monet ? A. Courbet was a half naturalist, but he gave up the idea of imitation of Nature as the sole aim of art. Monet who followed him stood for Nature, not as she is in the studio, but as she is in the open. He introduced the new way of treating light—the ...

Today I could not control this tendency of mine 1 ... to me that I was not supposed to see more—that is why this came just as an excuse. Later I came to know that the imposing figure which I had seen was that of the well-known French painter Claude Monet. I was also informed of his special liking for the very trees I had seen in the vision. These trees were noticed in many of his paintings that I got to see there. I learnt that he was very fond of gardens ...

... like Saurat and Signac will be held in honour; others like Manet, Monet, Camille, Pissaro and Pierre Bon-nard (to mention only some famous names) will grow more obvious and acceptable with years. But it is already evident that they do not reach beyond lyricism, beyond surface, to the magnificent banality of the Grand manner"— "Monet strove to communicate the transcience of light, Degas always ...
... Modernists and ultra-modernist to bring the evolution upto-date. The Modernist period can be said to come to its close in 1906 with the death of Cezanne, though some of its leading figures like Claude Monet continued to live upto 1926. But Matisse and Picasso had already come to Paris in 1906 and they and some others had done some of their paintings in the ultra-modernist style. The artists who... "Sensation" and "impression" Light and shade—particularly effect of light on colour and on object was studied very minutely and it made a new departure in the technique of painting. Some of them,—notably Monet—tried to represent the effect of light on colour by painting the same object several times under different light. Many painters began to paint direct with colour,—without resorting to outlines. Volume ...
... s’ explosion of light had set off a whole train of waves across Europe and gathered together a remarkable palette on the banks of the Seine, which was already bursting into a thousand new colors. Monet was painting his Peupliers au bord de I'Epte, while the little atomized dots of the Pointillists were leaving in their wake a new thirst for kneading Matter and wresting goodness knows what emphasis... for all the other types of painting! Yes, they’ve managed to dispel all my taste for classical painting. There was a time when I looked at the paintings of Rembrandt, Titian or Tintoretto, Renoir or Monet, and I felt a great aesthetic joy. I no longer feel this aesthetic joy; they all seem empty of aesthetic joy. Naturally, I feel none of it when I look at the things they do today, but nevertheless ...

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck The Natural Sciences Members of the French nobility had names as long as a freight train – so too Jean-Baptiste-Pierre-Antoine de Monet de Lamarck, usually referred to as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, or for short Lamarck (1744-1829). The fame of this extraordinary scientist has been eclipsed by the aura enveloping Charles Darwin. When Lamarck ...
... of Art, for instance, and Paris in her time was the cynosure of this world within our world. It was the threshold of the modern Age, and the impressionists - many of them now legendary names almost: Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, Moreau, Matisse, Roualt, Degas, Renoir Manet - as also the composer Franck and the sculptor Rodin, explored the infinitudes of form and colour, and went in tireless pursuit of Truth ...
... divine music which drown us in rapture; we can have, on this earth, the most beautiful adventures, passions that for a moment draw us into a fullness of life never experienced before; we can bathe, with Monet, in a soft and opaline light, lose ourselves in a seagull’s cry, love, love to distraction a great sparkling sea where the infinite narrows down so much that it almost nestles in our heart, or our heart ...
... She said that in 1951. A few years later she noted: ‘At one time, when I looked at the paintings of Rembrandt, the paintings of Titian or Tintoretto, the paintings of Renoir, the paintings of Monet, I felt a great aesthetic joy. This aesthetic joy I don’t feel anymore … That subtle something that is the true aesthetic joy is gone, I don’t feel it any more. Of course, I am miles away from experiencing ...

That is, there was a time when I used to look at the pictures of Rembrandt, of Titian, of Tintoretto, the pictures of Renoir and Monet, I felt a great aesthetic joy.

She was a friend of Rodin, of Monet, of... (who else?) of Sisley, of the great Impressionists. She tried the door of music – she was a great musician. She knocked on many doors. She was also gifted in mathematics. And then she knocked ...
