*Cliff Walk at Pourville (1882):�Monet wrote to his future wife,�Alice Hoschede�when he�settled in a village�"How beautiful the countryside is becoming, and what joy it would be for me to show you all its delightful nooks and crannies!"�A sense of movement suggested by painterly calligraphy was a property of Monet's work in the 1880s, and is here used to connote the effect of a summer wind upon figures, land, water, and clouds moving across the sky. *CLAUDE MONET (1845-1870) is one of the world's most famous painters, well-known today for his series of serene water lilies paintings, Claude Monet was instrumental in forging an entirely new direction for the world of art & impressionism. His distinctive use of colour, vision, and conformation would have a long influence on fine art, inspiring many great artists like Van Gogh.
