Cartoons Monet

As we know the term "impressionism" appeared thanks to Claude Monet in the distant 1874, thanks to the exposed picture of Monet - "Impression. Rising Sun". And, if you go back to the history of the founder of impressionism, the famous Claude Monet, he began his creative activity not from painting, but from caricatures. Monet's parents were extremely sparse, and so to make pocket money, he drew buyers of a grocery store that his parents kept. His fascination with cartoons, brought a good income and was very popular among residents of a small French town. And perhaps, Monet, I would never have painted my famous paintings, if not for an accidental acquaintance with Eugene Boudin. Who suggested drawing pictures in the "open air" and became his mentor in the future.

But, we will return all the same to the caricatures created by Claude Monet. Since the age of 14, Claude has learned to draw adorable caricatures with both coal and pencil. His success did not impress parents at all, but the number of people who wanted to get a caricature only increased. Excessively remaining work Monet brought for exhibiting in the only shop in the city of art supplies.

His caricatures are still delicious, they convey the palette of emotions, feelings of a person, his views, fashion, styles, character, all energy was collected in his pencil. The most interesting is always near, in simple things, in simple emotions and purity of the human soul.
