Monet, On His Own Work

"I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint."

— Claude Monet


Plate 1 — Woman with a Parasol, 1875

His wife Camille, and their son Jean. Painted outdoors in a single sitting, no underdrawing. Where the veil blows across her face — he left the face out. A few strokes.


Plate 2 — The Japanese Footbridge, c. 1899

Giverny — the pond he dug, the bridge he built. Then he painted it for twenty-odd years. Late on, the bridge nearly goes. What's left is water.


Plate 3 — Rouen Cathedral, West Façade, Sunlight, 1894

The same wall, thirty-some times. He rented the room across the street and changed canvases each time the light moved. This is the sunlight one.
