    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.

    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.

    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.
