Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. 
He enrolled in the Academie Suisse. 
After an art exhibition in 1874, a critic insultingly dubbed Monet's painting style "Impression,"
 since it was more concerned with form and light than realism, and the term stuck. 
Monet struggled with depression, poverty and illness throughout his life. He died in 1926.

Starting from the art, and its spread to the music and literature art.

Impressionist art put the interest in color-tone texture itself denies all the traditional painting techniques,

including a fanciful representation techniques.

Is called the Impressionist painter in pursuit of Impressionism, these are among the changes in the color that moves

To every moment with light, and depict the nature, by using the instantaneous effect of color and color tone,

accurate and objective the world visible basis I tried to record.

Claude Monet gave the Impressionist movement its name and was one of its most successful and best-known artists.

Before Impressionism was fashionable or accepted by the artistic elite, Monet was on the forefront of this revolutionary style.

Paintings such as Impressions Sunrise and La Gare Saint-Lazare exemplify the Impressionist style,

with their portrayals of light, air, and motion, allowing the essential elements of the work to shine through.

These works drew harsh criticism from many of Monet's contemporaries,

but some realized that Monet was exploring a whole new way to paint.
