  • Claude Monet
    Nov 14, 1840 - Dec 5, 1926
  • The Wheat Field - Claude Monet was a French painter, initiator, leader, and unswerving advocate of the Impressionist style. He is regarded as the archetypal Impressionist in that his devotion to the ideals of the movement was unwavering throughout his long career, and it is fitting that one of his pictures - Impression: Sunrise (Musée Marmottan, Paris; 1872) - gave the group his name.

  • 1881
    65.5 x 81.5 cm
    Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, United States.

    Monet spent nearly three years painting within about two kilometres of Vétheuil. The growing abstraction of his style can be seen in the Wheat field of 1881 where the landscape is reduced essentially to three colour scales: reddish-gold, blue and green. The red-gold runs as a flat band right across the painting, but curves forward in a narrow channel and is scattered over the surface of the saturated greens which form another horizontal band. This meadow is articulated with long curving strokes of blue-green which are also used to create the trees and wonderful misty distances. Monet flattens the space and avoids illusionistic effects (for example, the path does not 'look like' a path; we know it to be a path through intuitive identification of shape, colour and location). One could compare this way of depicting space, by overlapping bands and linking curves and echoes of colour, with the landscapes of Hiroshige and Hokusai (see the latter’s Shichirigahama in Sagami Province). The Wheat field was painted in the summer after Monet began working on the Norman coast. It suggests that his intense concentration on the groundedness of the meadows around the Seine was the necessary counterpoint to his imaginative grasp of vast heights and huge expanses of water in his paintings of cliff and sea.

Claude MonetIn 1890 Monet had bought a strip of marshland across the road from his house and flower garden, through which flowed a tributary of the Epte. By diverting this stream, he began to construct a water-lily garden. Soon weeping willows, iris, and bamboo grew around a free-form pool, clusters of lily pads and blossoms floated on the quiet water, and a Japanese bridge closed the composition at one end. By 1900 this unique product of Monet's imagination (for his Impressionism had become more subjective) was in itself a major work of environmental art--an exotic lotus land within which he was to meditate and paint for more than 20 years. The first canvases of lilies, water, and the Japanese bridge were only about one yard square, but their unprecedented open composition, with the large blossoms and pads suspended as if in space, and the azure water in which clouds were reflected, implied an encompassing environment beyond the frame. This concept of embracing spatiality, new to the history of painting and only implicit in the first water-lily paintings, was expanded by 1925 into a cycle of huge murals to be installed in Paris in two 80-foot oval rooms in the Orangerie of the Tuileries. These were described in 1952 by the painter André Masson as "the Sistine Chapel of Impressionism." This crowning achievement of Monet's long, probing study of nature--his striving to render his impressions, as he said, "in the face of the most fugitive effects"--was not dedicated until after his death. The many large studies for the Orangerie murals, as well as other unprecedented and unique works painted in the water garden between 1916 and 1925, were almost unknown until the 1950s but are now distributed throughout the major private collections and museums of the world. Despite failing eyesight, Monet continued to paint almost until his death in 1926.
