Abstract
Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924) from Japan and Claude Monet (1840 -1926) from France are examples of artists who shared an urge for creative discovery. Both artists painted what are considered to be impressive and revolutionary paintings. In their paintings, they instilled new ways of representing reality through composition. This essay will examine Kuroda Seiki's "Withered Field (Grez)" and Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Grey Day" in order to show the similarity of their respective methods, a similarity that was radical in its time because it broke with the accepted methods of composition and attempted to reinvent the nature of artist experience and representation.

Abstract
This paper explains that Claude Monet's "Water Lily" paintings represent plein-air painting, meaning they were painted outside the confines of the studio, which relates directly to the Impressionistic mode of thinking about art. The author points out that Claude Monet emphasized the visual experience of the sensuously immediate, producing a new kind of art from an unacknowledged, yet most commonplace, kind of visual experience called "the glance". The paper relates that these later Monet paintings are akin to the Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollack and Abstractionists like Kandinsky because, in essence, the later water lily paintings are abstract in their concentration on flow, color texture, and movement.

From the Paper
"In art historical terms Monet was the heir to a departure in style and content in 19th Century painting and was one of the instigators of the new school of French landscape painting. Monet's earlier work signals a break from the past conflict in art between line and color as the dominant aspects of painting. He also began his painting career in an atmosphere which no longer felt bound to paint from a religious and mythological basis - which had previously been seen as essential elements of artistic creation. This meant that the artist felt free to explore new and more expressive methods of artistic creation and "they no longer troubled themselves about composing pictures based on geometric principles. They continued to compose, of course, but they chose their patterns with an eye to pictorial rhythm, and were thereby led to seek out new rhythms."

Abstract
This paper examines how both Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh selected the subject of sunflowers for two of their most famous still life paintings. It looks at how, although both artist's works may depict the same type of flower, the color, light and shading of the two works are completely different.
From the Paper
"The arrangement of the Van Gogh painting also forces the viewer to look more closely at the individual flowers. Most of the faces of the Van Gogh sunflowers, rather than turn away from the viewer, seem to look at the viewer directly, while others are dying, as if expressing their sadness as they look away. Because of their brightness, and the detail given to each individual flower, the centers of the healthy flowers seem to look like eyes, looking into the viewer's soul, rather than away at something else as in the case of Monet's painting. Even the colors of the central vase are brighter in Van Gogh's painting than in Monet's and jump out at the viewer in the center of the composition. The vase is painted with bright colors, while in the Monet painting the viewer hardly notices the off-center vase."

Abstract
This paper discusses various paintings by artist, Claude Monet. The paper outlines Monet's methods of painting in his series of London paintings, emphasizing his various techniques and use of color. Monet's practice of painting the same scene at different times of day and in differing weather conditions, is illustrated in the paper. Walter Benjamin's literary work, "Illuminations" is presented. The paper explains Benjamin's opinions on the concept of art in general, and the issue of reproduction of original art in particular.
From the Paper
"Monet's London pictures demonstrate his ability to convey atmosphere and also show his approach to experimentation with the technical means to portray atmospheric effects. These are part of the "series" method of representing nature, a method that originated in giving attention to more and more specific weather phenomena. In a series, Monet would paint the same subject at different times of day, on subsequent days, with different atmospheric conditions, and so on, and in so doing he would observe and recreate the range of light and a variety of specific atmospheric conditions. Many of the works he painted in London show his dedication to finding a technique that will accomplish this task."

Abstract
This paper introduces the renowned 19th century French painter Claude Monet. It discusses his life and examines one of his works in detail. The paper argues that Monet is unquestioningly the father of impressionism, and paved the way for the abstract expressionism. The author states that Monet?s painting techniques rejected the standard art of time and came to influence painters today.
From the Paper
"Since childhood he displayed the geniuses of an artist when he produced some of his marvelous caricatures and supplied to an art store at the age of sixteen (Monet French). This is where he met Boudin who saw in him the germs of an emerging artist and convinced Monet to step out in the world to prove his ability to paint. In 1860 Monet came across Pissarro at the Acad?mie Suisse in Paris (Monet French). Monet?s love of art and painting faced many challenges and his career as a full-fledged artist saw many hardships (Monet French). "

Abstract
Claude Monet is widely recognized as one of the towering figures in the art world. His paintings of haystacks and the gardens at Giverny continue to attract visitors to museums all over the world. Both the subjects of his paintings and his techniques are dominant representations of the Impressionist movement. The first part of the paper looks at Monet's biography, including his early training and influences. The next part then examines Monet's role in the development of the Impressionist movement, the break from classical painting and the beginnings of modernist art. In the last section, the paper looks at how Monet's contributions to Impressionism continues to influence artists decades after his death.
From the Paper
"Despite this early success, the Salon later rejected many of Monet's later pieces. This included the massive Women in the Garden, which Monet submitted in 1866. After this rejection, Monet began to work on smaller paintings, as seen in the series of outdoor landscapes he painted with Renoir in 1869. The subject of these paintings was La Grenouillere, a fashionable bathing area along Paris' Seine River (Tucker 64). These paintings showed the beginnings of Monet's impressionist style, where daubs of fresh color were used to capture the spontaneity of the scene and the flowing water."

Abstract
This is an illustrated paper that takes a look at the life and work of Claude Monet, including his influences and his hardships.
From the Paper
"Claude Monet was a seminal figure in the evolution of impressionism, a pivotal style in the development of modern art. Though Edouard Manet may be considered the father of impressionism, it is Claude Monet who's name is synonymous with the style. Although his work showed great diversity and genius, he never wavered from ideals of the impressionistic design. In fact the name "impressionism" came from one of his paintings, Impression: Sunrise."

Claude Monet and Impressionism, 1991.
This paper discusses Monet's life, works and role in the Impressionist movement and focuses on his failing eyesight and how this strengthened the role of memory in his art during this period: "Grand Canal,Venice".

From the Paper
"Claude Monet produced a number of beautiful works late in life under very difficult conditions. His eyesight was beginning to fail, and he painted a number of pictures from memory rather than from life, notably pictures set in London and Venice. Monet had traveled extensively in Venice, and clearly this period in his life made an impression and influenced him so that when he needed a subject, he returned to this time and recalled images from his visit. A consideration of the development of Monet's style and how it was manifested during this period when his eyesight was failing can be illustrated with reference to the work "Grand Canal, Venice."

From the Paper
"In the years that he spent at Argenteuil, Monet began to work on a number of sequences of paintings in which he repeated subjects. These works were forerunners of the famous series that Monet created from 1891 to his death. One important aspect of the connection between the early sequences and the later series is the iconographic content of these works. Just as the later series are often viewed as an approach to pure abstraction, the earlier sequences are often viewed solely as the height of technical accomplishment in Impressionism. Yet, whether one considers the series of grainstacks from the 1890s or the earlier sequences of bridges at Argenteuil, these groupings of painting carry themes and meanings that are often overlooked in the attention that is paid to the evolution of Monet's Impressionist technique. The early sequence of the highway bridge at Argenteuil.."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Claude Monet's "Charing Cross Bridge, Fog" from 1902 and Lawren S. Harris' "Lake Superior" from around 1924. The paper provides a brief history of each artist and his work and then discusses how these two works show some of the different influences on art that are evident from different time periods.
From the Paper
"The painting shows the Impressionist desire to capture a particular moment in all its specificity, recreating the impression left of the light, the contrasts, and the movement. Monet indicates the movement of the mists in the direction of his brushstrokes and in the way the colors seem to create a whirling effect, a clockwise movement of both water and atmosphere. Seitz notes that Monet was beset by a "drive to capture the full range of natural effects, however impalpable or transitory" (Seitz 338). In this picture, his attempt to do just that is quite apparent."

Abstract
This paper provides a look at Japanese influence upon the work of French Impressionist painter, Claude Monet. The paper looks at Monet's interest in the exotic and ancient Japanese art and culture and discusses the influence of Japanese woodblock prints on the art of the Impressionists.
From the Paper
"Influences of Japanese art and culture infuse much of modern society. It is easy to see reflections of Japanese culture in what might otherwise be considered a western or occidental world. Certainly we have witnessed the overwhelming and growing emulation of Japanese customs in our own society. The work of French impressionist painter Claude Monet seems to have what may be the first hints of Japanese influence in modern art. Here we will examine that influence in Monet's work as it relates to impressionism..."

Abstract
This study analyzes the style of impressionism and oceanic themes that arise in the piece, "Marine View with a Sunset" by Claude Monet. The writer notes that with Monet's background as a son of a marine supply tradesman, he implies a deep love for the oceanic seaside and its various lighting and movements. By understanding this infatuation with the way that light, movement, and his brush strokes created this painting, one can understand the impressionistic values he implies in his perception of the sea. In essence, this study examines the impressionistic techniques used to create this ocean scene in relation to Monet's understanding of marine life from his own familial background and in the European art culture of the late 19th century.
From the Paper
"In this manner, Monet used short brush strokes that appeared unfinished, but were essentially a deliberate and nuanced way of changing how lighting, color, and images were abstractly located and applied in the composition.
"The location of the sailboats in the painting reveal how Monet sought to change the focal point often used by painters in realist schools from Great Britain. By placing the boats lower than the horizon line, they were actually becoming non-objects that took the focus off of them as normative objects that centralized the composition. This type of painting took precedence in many of his painting the depict sunsets and sunrises where the light was often bleak, yet filled with obscure colorations that took away the focal points of the sailboats as essential aspects of "Marine View with a Sunset"."

Abstract
Claude Monet and Rembrandt van Rijn are fundamentally different in their approaches to painting. This paper explores Monet's fascination with water and Rembrandt's love of chiaroscuro (the interplay of light and shadow) as well as both painter's philosophies on time - Monet often denies the existence of time altogether, whereas Rembrandt often makes the use of time an important subject matter of his work. The paper analyzes two works by Rembrandt - "Madonna of the Cat" (1654) and "A Woman Wading in a Brook" (1654) to show his use of chiaroscuro and his philosophy on time. The paper also discusses works by Monet including "La Grenouillere" (1868) and "Camille on her Deathbed", which show his fascination with water and his belief in art about art, rather than about reality.
From the Paper
"Rembrandt?s concern with experience and reality is inherent his work. In his etching of 1654 of Madonna of the Cat, he shows a scene which is full of meaning, and thus time and experience. There is a paradox in the scene itself involving the interplay of light and shadow, which is quite often the case with Rembrandt?s work. In the center of the etching, Mary is shown cradling Jesus in her arms. Traditionally, the pair is shown with a halo surrounding the fontanel. Rembrandt?s etching seems to do this, although in actuality what appears to be a halo is simply sunlight filtering though the window. In this context, he places Mary and Jesus in shadow, instead of in the light, which one would expect in a Christian scene. He suggests a more Protestant view of experience, in which shadow becomes a metaphor for ambiguity, everyday experiences, and the placing of the divine on a more human level. He suggests his belief that God is dwelling on earth among the normal, everyday people, rather than in the brilliantly lit skies of Heaven. This in and of itself is opposite from what the Greeks believed in."
