Monet

    The book I am currently reading is entitled "Monet". It is about Claude Monet (pronounced Mow Nay) the impressionist artist in the mid to late 1800's. You may know some of his work or at least one, I will post a picture soon. Monet was born in Paris in November on the 14 in 1840. His mother was known for her beauty and singing voice, she passed away when Claude was 17. Realations with his father were not of the greatest and seemed to worsen after his mother had passed. Claude Monet studied along side a proffesional painter and began to leaves schooling. His father was reluctant to allow him to leave school but Claude did and moved in with his aunt who was also a painter. The rest of the book is mostly technical criticing of his art and finding why he chose the colors he did and cut out the pieces of paintings he did.
