For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession to express emotions and to transmit light effects over nature was much more intense than his contemporaries. In his words: “Skills come and go… Art is always the same: a transposition of Nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun…should as well paint with gold and precious stones.” Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Claude Monet (Nina Kalitina, Nathalia Brodskaia)
