aintings. On December 5, 1926, Claude Monet died, leaving behind an amazing amount of paintings to be cherished by the world. Monet contributed many paintings, that he worked on during his life, to the public. Through all of his trials in life, he found a way of emitting his emotions through painting. He devoted his life to what he had done best, and that was to paint. So many things can be said about this man, that it can leave a person speechless, and in awe of all his artwork. Being a member of the group of Impressionists, he committed his whole life towards his paintings. As dangerous as it is to focus on one goal, Monet's determination to bring about a new technique of painting was worthwhile. Today, it has inspired many people around the world. His first painting, Impressionism: Sunrise, bore the name of the group Monet created (Nunhead 3). I think Monet is considered one of the brightest painters to date. He was very daring in his work and tried new ideas that had never been experienced before; he was truly a man that had respect for art. His ideas and techniques were very powerful, leaving many people gazing, in awe, at his artwork. So much can be said about Monet. He could paint with emotions that others could never see. He could dazzle you with his brush-strokes and bold mix of color. He could leave you with a sense of serenity, as you look upon his water lilies, in one panel, and leave you feeling angry and depressed, when you look at an almost identical scene, on another panel. He was truly an amazing artist with a gift not many have been able to duplicate....
