Monet's 'Water Lilies'

How did the Impressionist art movement get its name? Impressionist painter Claude Monet was born in Paris, on this date in 1840. Enamored of painting outdoors, Monet made a practice of painting the same scene at different times of day and season, showing the effects of light and atmosphere on the subject. He particularly loved painting flowers and his paintings of water lilies are among his most famous works. One of Monet's paintings was called Impression: Sunrise, which was the inspiration for the name Impressionism to describe the movement of artists who worked to paint a scene accurately and objectively, while using the transient effects of light on color and texture. Monet remarked on the importance of nature to his work: "I am following Nature without being able to grasp her... I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."

Quote:
"People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love." — Claude Monet
