Claude Monet (1875) by Auguste Renoir

When Claude Monet was asked why he wasn’t a man laden with medals and ribbons, his response was a hearty and innocent laugh.

The fact is, human beings sort each other out, fairly or not, on the basis of what they accomplish in life; and whatever lessons we draw from our acquaintance with others depends on what we see of them, and when. Though chance has a lot to do with that, there is no life, no matter how conspicuous or humble, that can’t teach us something—at the very least, about the compassion we should bring to watching other lives unfold.

His gardens inspired his art.

Nice design on the site, but a little awkward to use at first.

The last record of Adolphe Monet is his appearance, August 13. 1877, before the Havre section of a commission to reconstitute Paris records. The impression of Mr. James P. Butler was that he died about this time, but the partial records preserved and reconstituted at Le Havre (after destruction in the last war) show no trace of him. Nor is his death recorded at Ste.-Adresse or in Paris. The deaths of Sophie Lecadre and her husband are recorded at Le Havre's Hötel de Ville.

You know why art wasnt dying back then? Bc people like Claude Monet didnt have smth like instagram. He never needed to compare himself to Andreas Achenbach every day. He never saw his paintings on a for you page and was like "I will never be as good as him" and gave up. He never saw a 10.000 likes painting while he only got 10 likes. He never had to read comments about how ugly his paintings are and that he should just stop. He just painted and people liked it, no matter if anyone else was "better" or not. Now i feel like many people give up art or music or whatever, bc they see so many artists on social media every day, that they dont see the point in even trying, when they will never be as good as them anyways.
