Monet, a cold Scorpio boy, is speculative and knowledgeable. Majestic and upright, very alert to the outside world. It is precisely because of this personality characteristic that Monet appears lonely in the crowd and swaggers in the exploration of Impressionism. Real masters are lonely. They don't blindly follow and don't compromise. They just want to get the treasure by their own research. Monet said, "I want to paint birds singing."
Monet left more than 500 sketches and more than 2,000 oil paintings in his life and gained countless fans. He is a very popular painter and an impressionist master who can be as famous as Van Gogh.
Monet was born in 1840, and painted 18 1 water lily all his life. He painted this flower for 27 years. I have never been to see Monet's "Water Lily" exhibition before, and I am deeply moved. No wonder his preference is that it is a kind of flower that blooms silently, bringing clouds and dancing ribbons in the water, and the cool breeze in Xu Lai gives you a refreshing fragrance. When Monet is mentioned, everyone can think of his Water Lily. How many people remember the woman behind him?
1865, that year was Monet's robbery and his life. He met the love of his life in the Seine. In his eyes, there is only such a woman in love, painting and life. From 1865, this woman appeared in Monet's paintings for 14 years. Friends who are familiar with Monet's works may have guessed the identity of this mysterious woman. Yes, she is Camille, Monet's first wife, and the only woman Monet has painted in his life.
At that time, Monet signed up for an art salon, so he began to create a work called The Woman in the Green Skirt, which is also the official portrait of Camille.
Camille was ill at the time of parasol, so her appearance was blurred and her eyes were blurred. Monet's heartache can be seen. I hope to keep all this beautiful.
After the young Camille gave birth to Monet's second son, his condition became more and more serious. Monet used the money originally spent on pigments and materials to buy medicine for his wife, and also wrote letters to borrow money everywhere. There is an impressive sentence in the letter: "We have no food and no heat." Seeing Camille haggard day by day, Monet was helpless. Sitting in front of the hospital bed, facing his dying wife, Monet could only pick up the brush, leave her last appearance behind and draw the only peach heart in his life.
The Red Scarf: A Portrait of Madame Monet is said to have been completed by Monet in ten years. He cherishes this job and always carries it with him. From this painting, we can vaguely capture the life breath of Camille.
After his wife died, he didn't shed a tear and turned to painting. In those difficult days, Monet's paintings only existed for Camille. Later, Camille died in the prime of life, so Monet stopped writing and became obsessed with nature. In his later years, Monet took pains to draw water lilies, which were quiet, illusory and beautiful, and also the embodiment of Camille.
If you can't let go of the person you love, then you can support a generation of masters with impressions, but you can't fully understand them. A generation of grandmasters deeply loved their wives and carved them in their bones. He only did one thing with his heart in his life and loved someone with his life.
