题目内容
14.Claude Monet was born on November 14,1840,in Paris,but he spent most of his childhood in Le Havre,a city of southern France.By the time he was fifteen Monet had become popular as a caricaturist(漫画家).Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858,Monet met the French landscape painter Eugene Louis Boudin,who introduced Monet to outdoor painting,an activity that soon became his life's work.By 1859Monet had committed himself to a career as an artist and began to spend as much time in Pairs as possible.During the 1860s he met Edouard Manet.With other ambitious French painters,they formed the impressionist school.
Working outside,Monet painted simple landscapes and he began to have some success.As his style developed,however,Monet broke one traditional artistic convention(常规)after another.His experiments with bright color became more and more daring,and he seemed to cut himself off from the possibility of a successful career as a conventional painter supported by the art establishment.
In 1874Monet and his colleagues decided to organize their own exhibition.They called themselves independents,but the press soon labeled them impressionists because one of Monet's paintings had borne the title Impression:Sunrise.Then the name stuck.
By the mid-1880s,Monet,generally regarded as the leader of the impressionist school,had achieved significant recognition and financial security.In 1890 he was able to purchase some property in the village of Giverny,not far from Paris,and there be began to construct a water garden-a water lily pond with a Japanese bridge.Beginning in 1906,paintings of the pond and the water lilies occupied his mind for the rest of his life.His famous series Water Lilies,painted between 1990and 1926,Clearly shows the artist's strong interest in color and produces a remarkable(不寻常的)visual effect.Despite failing eyesight,Monet continued to paint almost up to the time of his death,on December 5,1926,at Giverny.
