Despite the community between beautiful nature and art, the differences are striking. Suppose, in order fix our ideas, we compare one of Monet's pictures of a lily pond with the aesthetic appreciation of the real pond.
In the French Section, Room 12 contains a diverse collection of water color, drawing, engraving, and painting, among the latter, Henry Grosjean's "The Bottoms" . Room 13, full of strongly contrasting work, is distinguished by Maurice Denis' daring decorative panels. Here also is Claude Monet's "Vetheuil" , the same scene, though not the same picture, as his No. 2634 in Room 61.
"There has been a prejudice against bringing old days back too clearly to these wretches... But Monet's been playing his music and they seem to like that." It ended by Fred going out with Monet and one of the attendants into the hills and bringing back a beautiful fir tree.
It is sometimes a long business, very long; big drops of sweat come out on Monet's forehead. But I know that he would not give up his place for anything in the world. When Mazy arrived at the hospital, Hourticq, who is no egoist, said to him at once in a low tone: "Yours is a leg too, isn't it? You must try to get Monet to hold it for you."
He has in turn painted landscapes as full of distinction as Monet's. The nervous vivacity of his brush, his love of rendered surfaces, of melting Boucher-like heads, and of a dazzling Watteau colour synthesis have endeared him to the discriminating." The generation that succeeded them is endeavouring to restore the balance between unblushing pantheism and the earlier mysticism.
To these two painters is due the method of Pointillism, i.e. the division of tones, not only by touches, as in Monet's pictures, but by very small touches of equal size, causing the spheric shape to act equally upon the retina.
An American millionaire buys a "Corot" or a "Monet," that is to say, a piece of colored canvas upon which a highly individualized artistic temperament has recorded its vision or impression of some aspect of the world as it has been interpreted by Corot's or Monet's eye and brain and hand.
He seemed to have planned deliberately to get our confidence and then betray it... He was directly responsible for Felix Monet's death. Without his influence Monet would never have thought of escape." And in summing up, the police would declare: "A bad actor from the word go. One of the sort who reach a certain point in respectability and then run amuck.
For a few yards the youth surrendered passively, but as Fred neared the thicket again he felt the sharp release of Monet's coat sleeve. He continued on his way... Suddenly he heard a noise of swift feet stirring up the rain-soaked leaves. He turned abruptly. Monet was running in the other direction toward the precipice. A dreadful chill swept him.
Monet's remarkable method of putting his colours upon canvas does not mean impressionism. He is an impressionist but also Monet an artist with a method entirely different from that of any other. He belongs to what in France is called the pointillistes. The word means nothing more nor less than an effort to accomplish the impossible.
