Oscar-Claude Monet

CLAUDE MONET
I decided to briefly describe his activity because I believe that his paintings were truly amazing and he was one of the greatest creators of Impressionism. I really appreciate his contribution to the art of the XX century. 

Claude Monet (14 November 1840 - 5 December  1926) was a French painter, one of main Impressionism precursors. The term "Impresionism" is derived from the title of his painting "Impression, Sunrise". He wasn't trying to paint a reflection of real life, but an "impression" of what the person, light, atmisphere, object or landscape looked like to him. He tried to capture the movement and life of what he saw and show it to us as if it were happening before our eyes

 In Poland we can only see his one of his paintings- "Beach in Pourville". It's on a display at the National Museum in Poznań
