Monet is one of those artists who you just seem to have known all your life. His name is so familiar.
Most people interested in art – and I’d argue that should be everyone! – know that his painting ‘Impression, Sunrise’ gave name, almost accidentally, to the most famous artistic movement in history – the impressionists. But sometimes I like to stop and ask myself: what do I really know about him?
I remember doing this with Mozart and then, over a three-year production period, discovering someone very far removed from Tom Hulce’s wonderful (and woefully inaccurate) portrayal in Amadeus.
Thus it was that when we were in production for another film ‘Painting the Modern Garden – Monet to Matisse’ I decided it was time to look a bit closer at Monsieur Claude Oscar Monet.
