Along with Turner, no artisthassought more than Claude Monet (1840-1926) to capture lightitself oncanvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézannecalled"only an eye, but my God what an eye!" who stayed completelytrue tothe principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation,paintingdirectly from the object.
It could be said thatMonetreinvented the possibilities of colour, and whether it wasthroughhis early interest in Japanese prints, his time in thedazzlinglight of Algeria as a con*, or his personal acquaintancewiththe major painters of the late 1800s, what Monetproducedthroughout his long life would change forever the way weperceiveboth the natural world and its attendant phenomena. Thehigh pointof his explorations were the late series of waterlilies,painted inhis own garden at Giverny, that, in their moves towardsalmosttotal formlessness, are really the origin ofabstractart.
