... 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...

Some of them,—notably Monet—tried to represent the effect of light on colour by painting the same object several times under different light.

... 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!

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 ...

... secret he will never penetrate? 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).

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 ...

... 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.
