He stood out as a child for his talent as a caricaturist, shared, at a very young age, his enthusiasm for light with Eugene Boudin, became friends with Pissarro, Jongkind, Sisley, Bazille, Courbet, Renoir, Nadar... lives his paintings refused at official Salons, then acquired by the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel who made them known in New York. He unleashed praise and criticism, before becoming the leader of the impressionist adventure. He experienced doubt, mourning, misery and glory... designed a magnificent garden in Giverny, spoke of his horticultural projects with Georges Clemenceau... This man, who passionately loved the fleeting beauty of the moment and of whom all the world's museums are now competing for works, it's Claude Monet. Florence Gentner has brought together in this photo album, old documents and drawings made by Monet or those who were important in his life, extracts from the painter's letters and testimonies from those close to him. Il se fit remarquer, enfant, par son talent de caricaturiste, partagea, tres jeune, son enthousiasme pour la lumiere avec Eugene Boudin, se lia d'amitie avec Pissarro, Jongkind, Sisley, Bazille, Courbet, Renoir, Nadar... vit ses toiles refusees aux Salons officiels, puis acquises par le marchand Paul Durand-Ruel qui les fit connaitre a New York. Il dechaina eloges et critiques, avant de devenir le chef de file de l'aventure impressionniste. Il connut le doute, les deuils, la misere et la gloire... concut un jardin magnifique a Giverny, parla de ses projets horticoles avec Georges Clemenceau... Cet homme, qui aima passionnement la beaute fugitive de l'instant et dont tous les musees du monde s'arrachent aujourd'hui les oeuvres, c'est Claude Monet. Florence Gentner a reuni dans cet album photo, documents anciens et dessins realises par Monet ou ceux qui compterent dans sa vie, extraits de lettres du peintre et temoignages de ses proches.
