#personal#thi king about claude monet and light and god and inanity. thinking abput that cathederal that drove him mad#but i dont think it was. he was too up himself to take on criticism of his lightwork so he let rouen cathederal be the hammer that#shattered his sanity. because impressions was so well received despite it clearly being a throwaway piece#an intentional snub. but the people loved it nd he wanted to prove to himself it wasnt about the content f the painting but the light itself#so he let it drive him mad instead of painting the cathederal any other way. from any other angle or focused on any of its beautiful detail#just allowed himself to go mad over some lighting criticism with rouen as his muse#thinking about god and light and the sun and cathederal windows and that once guy who painted sun circles#robert deluney(?) is that how you spell it. just kept staring into the sun painting the circles left on his retinas by god itself#i dont have a lot of thoughts i can put into words about it. lots of untranslatable thoughts but#idk i love monets lilly pads thwyre some of my favourite pieces of art to exist but his self destructive obsession with rouen cathederal#something seems both powerfully yearning and insurmountably insane about it all#he tried so hard to touch god in svery angle of light it appears but theres too many. theres too many shapes of god to let some crique of#ones lightplay dominate your work. youll never capture light and gods like that my guy. its a fruitless endeavour#that will only leave you mad and feverish. stuck in limbo of life lived without your active involvement in it in a desperate search for god#forgetting that the parts of god that are in you want to create something new not just show its old stories anew again#hm. monet i would do a lot of shady shit to be able to psychoanalyze one good deep conversation with you about god and art and such#just one
