Claude Monet called Oscar by his parents was born in paris in 1940. His style of painting was impressionism which is painting with the effects of light with broken color and rapid brushstrokes. I thought his painting “Impression Sunrise” was very beautiful and I’d like to hang it in my own home. He painted it in 1872. His paintings were of nature and beautiful ladys in the gardens. Some of the paintings were of his wife Camille (Lady in the Green Dress) and of his daughter Jean Monet (Jean on a Hobby Horse). In 1879 he painted his wife dieing in her bed. Kind of odd I think. After his wife passed his art became even lovelier. He painted a large collection of waterlilies. He even painted a portrait of himself. He had a very thick long white beard. He died of lung cancer in 1926. Im not sure if he smoked but he lived a long life of 86 years. His painting of “Effects of Sun in thre Fog” sold for 20.1 million U.S. dollars in 1904. I love his art!
