"Ho imparato che ogni giorno dovresti spingerti a toccare qualcuno. La gente ama una carezza affettuosa, o soltanto un amichevole pacca sulla schiena".

"Una delle migliori sensazioni al mondo è quando abbracci qualcuno e lui ricambia stringendoti più forte".

Claude Monet | Stile artistico

Claude Monet è stato il sostenitore più convinto ed instancabile del «metodo impressionista» che vide già riassunto in nuce nelle opere dell'amico Manet.
Per comprendere appieno la carica rivoluzionaria della figura di Monet, tuttavia, è necessario calarla con precisione nell'ambiente storico e artistico francese della seconda metà dell'Ottocento.
