That was a very nice critique of Monet’s work. I’m very fond of Impressionism, and it was fascinating to hear how Monet’s paintings changed, as his sight was hindered by cataracts. Impressionism is like freezing an image in one’s memory, and placing it on canvas. Everything, is a little fuzzy, but the colors and feelings remain.
Nice touch adding Debussy music as he was known as the impressionist of composers.
Could elaborate on this, I'm not particularly familiar with classical music so what makes him the impressionist of composers?
@@polaroidandroidjeff6383 I could try. Basically, his music was less rigid and more fluid. You're best bet is to read the "style" section of the Claude Debussy Wikipedia page. He rejected the term however. You should listen to his piece called "Claire de Lune" if you're interested.
I do appreciate impressionist paintings, but I don't like impressionist music, especially Debussy. I can't tell why.
@@seanleith5312 People have different opinions. So it is okay you are not a fan of impressionistic music.

One of the few painters who you could literally spend hours looking at one painting and marvel at its composition and beauty. Arguably the greatest artist, certainly of the Impressionists.
Even on a good, large screen, the paintings look flat compared to the real thing. The depth and detail in some of Monet's work is breathtaking. If you can stand back from his water lilies, the water starts to move, you can feel a light breeze, it comes to life ... truly amazing. Try to see his work in an uncrowded gallery and take the time to stare into each piece, it is well worth the time.
My Mother, a painter/artist herself, loved him. My childhood was spent with large art books with works of the masters sprawled on the floor beneath the canvas work in progress of my Mother. Turpentine scented memories will follow me today. Thanks, Simon.
This is the best comment I've read 😊 Thank you for sharing this memory with us 🤗❤
Is there anyway I can view her art and was her style influenced by Monet and impressionist
Thank you for shedding light on the women in Monet's life who made his prolific work possible! So often their labor is forgotten and overlooked.
It reminds me of your Van Gogh video, how his sister-in-law Johanna Bonger preserved and showed his paintings to the world after his death.
You know you’re baroque when you’re out of Monet
😂🤣😂
good one
Well, the saying goes that Monet makes the world goes round.
LMBO...
Whorls lol
Clever
Im simultaneously upset by and in awe of your punmenship

Also the pleasant music in the background (Chef's kiss)

"I would not image Mr. Monet blushing."
"He painted landscapes."
My best description of Monet's work:
Imagine a landscape blushing.
I am drawn to van Gogh's "Wheatfield with Crows." I have no one favorite of Monet's paintings. Each one is a magical place where it only takes a step and you have entered the frame.
Last December, the Denver Art Museum hosted a massive exhibition on the nature works of Monet, I loved it and gained more of an interest in the impressionist art movement, including music.
one of my favoritw artists ever, like most timeless art it was way ahead of its time
I have two Monet prints in my living room. One is a painting of his garden, and the other is a vase of sunflowers (no, not by Van Gogh; Monet also painted sunflowers.)
Shnflowers used to be an extremely common flower to paint, it helps a lot that most sunflowers are giants compared to other flowers
I love Monet’s paintings and really enjoyed learning more about his life!
The fact this is free blows my mind thank you! Really feel like I know these artist now
Omg I literally asked for this video like 2 weeks ago! I really wanted to know more about him thank you!
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
I always love Monet. I saw a Monet art exhibition while in San Francisco.
Monet’s work, the early years, took my breath away. I could have spent the night there laying on the floor in front ‘Regatta at Argenteuil’ just looking at it all night.
I would have dreamily laid in one of the sail boats feeling the gentle motion of the water, hearing the birds in the trees close on shore, while admiring the soft clouds scattered across the blue sky.
I would have been in the painting, content, not needing to move off the floor in spite of stiffness setting in. Of course being in Monet’s boat I wouldn’t have even felt it.
Mr.Monet is definitely my favorite artist . so happy about this video.
Impressionism is so powerful, that it makes you appreciate it's style, but other art styles also. You can appreciate more what the art is and what the artist is conveying.
Simon should be an art critic. His descriptions are a breath of fresh air.
I have been a follower of your channel for quite a while now and this video is by far my favorite yet! Thank you for this and all your videos.
Dropped what I was doing as soon as I saw you did Monet. I absolutely love impressionism, thank you
You should do a video on Bobby Fischer, so much to talk about and a very interesting man.
I absolutely loved the music used in this video, thanks Simon!
great stuff. best of yours ive seen yet
Love your videos Simon! It’s hard keeping up with all the awesome content you put out.
It's funny because as beautiful as they are, they really are quite simple. Maybe that's what makes them so amazing?
Picasso’s ink drawings are amazing. So few strokes and so much detail. I was in awe. Often the simple is harder and takes longer. I love the quote about writing, “it would have been shorter if I had more time.”
I never really appreciated his work before but seeing them on screen just made me gasp. They are gorgeous.
Fr, go check out the gallery's holding his works. Utterly breathtaking.
I 'm so glad you decided to make a video about Monet
I just finished reading a historical novel about him, he led a very interesting life.
YAY!!! I love artists bio's :) thank you!!!
your narration gets funnier as time goes by. loving it.
I remember back in the 4th grade we had a presentation at school where a guy came in and talked to the class dressed as Monet.
That could have actually been time-travelling Monet and you'll never know...
“Monet” bright inspiring emotion 💜
I loved the video! Nice to put a life to the beautiful art. :)
As usual, I'm here to request a Biographic on Ip Man, the martial arts mentor to the late, great Bruce Lee. I think such an incredible man deserves the Biographic touch! Thank you in advance! -A Loyal Subscriber
The Impressionists and post impressionists always livened up an art history class when I was at school. Not just by their paintings but by their biographies as well. Looking forward to seeing something on crazy Paul Gaughin on this channel. As well as mad Vincent Van Gough ór randy Toulouse Lautrec.
One of my fave painters. Thank you!
I dont really have much knowledge nor interest in art (mostly because I dont get it), however this was an amazing display of what I can imagine being one of the bigger names in the profession. Big kudos to the writers/researchers and obviously Simon for the presentation, you got me wanting to to learn more about artists and the art itself.
fast speaking about peoples lives works sometimes - thoughtful heartfelt analysis is key in this inastance
Amazing video, good job
First of impression is best of all time. Love his work since I found out in highschool.
Love his work thx for sharing
Well as gardens..thank you for the tea and veggies and spices.
Excellent! Thanks!
There's many living artists who will never see the light of recognition.
Also composers, architects, and other creative endevours. We're all here.
So Monet was able to live as he chose amid all the controversy of the art world.
Nice. Great analysis of what was revolutionary about Monet's art at its time.
More of those artists, my daughter loves art and needs to find a person to maybe follow.
Please allow me to suggest a course of general drawing and perspective, with an emphasis on Monet and Van Gogh for techniques in painting. Good luck.
It is very nice to know some parents support their child's interest in art.
@@2Btoobee thank you. She is very talented. However, she needs to concentrate on school. Also, she a social butterfly.
Monet was a breath of fresh air, a sort of Hippie genius of his time.
@@brentvenneman6710 Best to you and your child.
"Monet is money." 😂😂
My favourite artist. I always get lost in his paintings. The garden paintings are a different universe entirely.
Awesome video
I feel like Matt Urban is always overlooked and forgotten, a story on him would be amazing
Well we know Simon loves art! Such passion in your sentences when you speak!
I adore the way you speak :)
Yeah, artists are different people. Great video.
Impressionism, the punk rock of painting. 🤘
When it comes to Bios of artists, author Malt Schlitzmann always delivers! Fascinating lesson on how simple technology advances (portable easel) can fuel a new movement. And great find about police surveillance on Monet!
Please, please please do more art history videos. That was utterly riveting.
Renoir and Monet are my favorite impressionist artists. Vermeer might be my favorite overall with Bob Ross thrown for good measure. 🎨
Good video 👍
A print of Monet's Water Lillys has hung in my house for some twenty years. I find it very soothing.
The background music for this video is awesome.
Claude Debussy
Impressionism is also a style of music. Debussy and Ravel ect did a lot of it.
The pirate ARRRR's are spot on, please keep them coming
My very favorite artist
It's sad people didn't appreciate how great he was until after his death.
thats being a writer 101
Like Van Gogh
Well, there is a saying, a person is worthed more dead than alive
@@elphiegleason3899 Or Franz Kafka. Or F Scott Fitzgerald. Or Joan Of Arc. Or Emily Dickinson. HECK, Franz Kafka died thinking that he was a Dissapointment to his father, who wanted him to have a job that was respected in "society".
@@MistaFadora *painter
Excellent video from my favourite RUclips channel. The Van Gogh one was excellent too. How about doing videos on M C Escher and Edward Hopper?
"Count de Money!" "That's Monet!"
"Wait for the shake!"
Could you consider doing one on Gwen John? Brilliant artist when female artists weren't common especially not during her lifetime. She dedicated the majority of her life to it, did my thesis on her and she's an incredible woman.
Well done
This channel is so underrated
What an amazing artist he was! I always knew about how famous he was, but never got to see his major works. I'd like to see an episode on Edouard Manet. I also love btw the including Clair De Lune for background music!
A Disturbed reference in a video about Monet is so very 2020.
More surrealism than impressionism though! 😉
This is definitely my favorite episode
Superb video. I agree with many in the comments too, more artists would be most welcome.
Thank you for acknowledging the dedication and sacrifice the women around him made, you almost never hear about things like that.
Business Blaze is spilling over. I'm loving it😂
I'm sorry @Biographics I have to pause the video at only 2:45. Debussy is filling my brain and I must listen to Arabesque right fast. I'll brb!
Thank you
Truth to reality. In you eye.
love his clouds.
I find the videos to be highly informative and I would love to see more videos centering women! Seeing as there are amazing stories to be told about them as well
Can you do a video on Orson Welles?
This video is beautiful
yes
"Wash your filthy hands!" Love it
More artist biographies plz :3
Nice story!
I recommend you do Captain James Cook for the next video, or the next, next video!
Please more videos about the Cult Leaders!
Good video
Nice new glasses!
Please do a video on Mary Cassatt, thanks.
Monet and Renoir are my favorite painters
Why we talk about Claude Monet is still a mystery to me. I never could figure out what was so great about his work and still feel that way after watching this video.
Ah, my favorite painter :)
He was a great PAINTER. I like how he used PAINT to make PAINTINGS.
I took the elective of history of art between the ages of 13 and 17, I even did a university acess exam on the subject, my disertation for that exam "Monet and Van Gogh, the development of a unique style" I aced it since they were my favourite painters
Do Laerdal Tunnel, Norway and the Faroe Islands: Inside the undersea tunnel network that looks stunning.
His paintings at the Orangerie in Paris are quite impressive
Did the hues when Simon on screen get colder to better show the vibrence of the paintings?
Could you do an episode on pierre du pont?
Weeping williows have very deep meaning . they're a very powerful tree . they're also beautiful 1 of my most favorite trees along with cherry blossom trees
