      Hanzo-San, the name “impressionism” still comes from Monet’s painting. But they were close friends and often exchange about techniques and subjects. Arigatoo!

    • @hattorihanzo8385
      @hattorihanzo8385 3 года назад +1

      @@mygeekfamilycotton as far as I know manet’s “luncheon on the grass” is the first impressionistic painting as far as the brushstrokes in the background is concerned. In fact Monet got inspired by this and gave the “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” during 1865-66. There is no doubt in calling Monet the most “well versed and knowledgeable of the impressionists” basically the real deal of Impressionism but it’s Manet who started it.
      The difference between Manet and Monet as far as Impressionism is concerned is the difference between Poe’s Auguste Dupin and Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. Sure Holmes is the real deal but Dupin is the first detective even before Holmes and set the template for Doyle’s novels.
      I rest my case. Great video by the way. Cheers!!
