Never have I imagined a world without poets and artists. It's scary.

When no one is a poet, the world is silent. When no one is an artist, the world is bland. Their art is what makes the world an interesting place to be. The poet's prose might be something to live for for the disturbed and the artist's piece might be something to hold on to for the troubled. They color the world with their pens and brushes. We often take it for granted that's why it's scary to imagine a world without poets and artists.

My version of Woman with a Parasol.

This painting has lived rent free in my mind for awhile now, so I figured I could draw my take on it. My first thought was 'lesbians+longing' as a different spin on the original.

Flowers by Monet.

Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it.

Nato a Parigi nel 1840, Claude Oscar Monet crebbe in un modesto ambiente borghese. Il commercio di generi coloniali del padre peggiorò a dismisura, tanto da imporre alla famiglia di trasferirsi a Le Havre.

Claude Monet

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French impressionist painter who transformed modern art with his emphasis on light brushstrokes, bright colours, and uncluttered nature. Famed for his landscapes and series of paintings that captured the same view in different momentary atmospheric conditions, Monet is heralded as one of the greatest and most influential artists of all time.

Early Life

Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on 14 November 1840. The job of Monet's father, Claude-Adolphe, is not known except that it was a humble one and that the family often struggled financially. In 1845, the Monets moved to Le Havre on the northern coast of France where Claude-Adolphe worked in his brother-in-law's thriving wholesale grocery business. Oscar-Claude's favourite subject at school was art, and, fascinated by the boats in the busy harbour, he often sketched them. From 15, he made money by selling caricatures, some of which were displayed in a local shop window each Sunday, which became a minor local attraction. Monet's aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre, was an amateur painter and she encouraged Oscar-Claude, introducing him to the artist Amand Gautier (1825-1894).

Another artistic influence was the landscape painter Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) and the pair went painting together en plein air (outdoors), as opposed to the traditional method of painting in the studio. Still only 17, Monet produced his first outdoor painting, View from Rouelles, in 1858. Monet later described the experience:

Boudin put up his easel and set to work…for me it was like the rending of a veil; I understood; I grasped what painting could be…my destiny as a painter opened up before me. If I have indeed become a painter; I owe it to Eugène Boudin…Gradually my eyes were opened and I understood nature.

(Hodge, 15)

In April 1859, Monet gathered together his savings from his caricatures sales and went to study art in Paris. He enrolled in the unconventional Académie Suisse and started to make friends with artists like Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) and Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). More caricatures helped eke out his savings.

In June 1861, Monet's studies were rudely interrupted by conscription into the French army. Joining the African Light Cavalry, he was shipped off to Algeria. The bright colours of North Africa left a lasting impression on the young artist, who continued to sketch when he could. Then, after contracting typhoid in 1862, Monet was invalided back home. Six months later, Aunt Marie-Jeanne bought her nephew out of the army. Now 22, he dropped the Oscar from his name and began to paint again. It was at Le Havre that Monet met the Dutch artist Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891), whose work he already admired for its broad and bold brushstrokes and which captured effects of the weather on seascapes. As Monet noted, Jongkind "became from this moment, my true master; and it is to him that I owe the final development of my painter's eye" (Hodge, 19).

Naturalism x Realism✨The Crux of Emile Zola’s The Masterpiece✨ (mostly text) mini zine. I felt compelled to make this because my interest in Zola began with Oscar Wilde, then extended to Vincent Van Gogh, Jean Luc Godard, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s calling Godard’s Life is Life a masterpiece ft the main character Nana, Claude Monet’s connection to Edouard Manet who did the painting entitled Nana.

So, serendipitously/synchronicity. It’s all very artful
