Information about painters and their work 2



If you have chosen this picture, it's by Claude Monet and it's titled "Poppy field"

Claude Monet(1840-1926),
grew up in Le Havre and studied in Paris. During the 1860s he met many of the great artists of the time and began to develop his distinctive style. In 1874 he exhibited a painting called An impression" in Paris and the term Impressionism was coined. In later life he became increasingly fascinated with the changing effects of light and painted series such as "Hay stacks" and "Water-lilies", which inspired the Abstract Expressionists."
