How to appreciate Monet's paintings?
Alain de Botton said in the "Art" part of "The Art of Travel": "If we like a painter's work, it may be because we think he chose the features that we think are most valuable to a landscape." Let's put aside the genre, style and expression techniques, as well as artistic concepts, technical level and artistic taste, which are too complicated for ordinary people. We just feel what Monet's paintings make us feel. Today, let's first feel this side of Monet: painting only one woman in one's life.

The only heroine on the master's canvas

I have always thought that a woman's greatest glory is to have a large number of admirers. However, only by understanding the stories of Monet and Camier can we know what a truly lucky woman is. She is an excellent man, weak water, only a spoonful of her, and only she is in love with her. 1865, 25-year-old Monet and 18-year-old Camier met in the Seine. Monet is writing Lunch on the Grass, and Camier is his model. When you meet, you will win over countless people, talented people and beautiful women, and soon fall in love. At that time, Monet was just a fledgling painter, and his background was not noble, but his family disdained the model Camier. In order to force them to break up, Monet's father cut off his son's financial resources, which made Monet and Camier's life get into trouble soon. They grow their own potatoes and borrow money to live. Even because he couldn't afford the canvas, Monet had to scrape off the oil paint on the old painting and repaint it. However, for Monet and Camier, if they really love each other, the bitter days can be sweet. Monet was infatuated with Camier, and Camier also gave the painter a strong creative inspiration. On Monet's canvas, Camier is the only heroine.

Happy days are always short. Monet and Camier moved to Tey, a suburb of Paris, and daily necessities became an unavoidable reality. At that time, Monet's creative technique was rejected by the industry. His sunrise was satirized by a reporter as "denying beauty and truth can only give people an impression" ... so Monet named the painting "Sunrise Impression". A mediocre person is a mediocre person. If you can't predict the future fashion trend, you can't predict it naturally. This impression of sunrise, which is dismissed as "random, messy, vague and vague", will one day become a national treasure immortal masterpiece, and the irony of "only giving people an impression" will become the name of a great school in the history of painting. However, it was this abuse and ridicule that embarrassed Monet and ruined Camier's health. 1878, after giving birth to the second child, Camier suffered from pelvic cancer and was terminally ill. She is confined to bed every day. Monet wrote in a letter to writer Zola: "There is no fire at home, and my wife is ill. I ran for a day yesterday and didn't borrow any money. " After all, there are not so many miracles in the world. God has no mercy on Camier, who was born tired of love. 1On September 5, 879, at the age of 32, she came to the end of her life. This woman has only done one thing in her life, and that is to give her love to her husband without reservation or regret. She was so infatuated that she got carried away and didn't have any jewelry before she died. On his deathbed, Monet redeemed an honorary badge from the pawnshop and put it on his beloved wife's chest. All good things must come to an end. In a person's life, relatives will leave, some will suffer, some will run away, and what Monet did was to keep his wife's last face.
