MONET Claude (1840 - 1926) MONET Claude (1840 - 1926) ART AND THEATRE - MONET Claude (1840 - 1926) - Autograph letter signed Autograph letter signed, dated “Mardi matin [c. 1875]” by the French painter and founder of impressionism. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions of nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, exhibited in 1874 (the "exhibition of rejects") initiated by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon. Monet addresses a gentleman: “…je suis dans une panne atroce et obligé de vendre coute que coute quelques toiles au plus bon prix, afin de pouvoir me remettre au travail. J’ai encore chez moi une … plusieurs toiles qui vous conviendrait beaucoup plus si vous vouliez m’en prendre quelques unes je vous le fait à 40 f. l’une…”. This early letter illustrated movingly the economic situation of the impressionist leader at the beginning of the movement that would revolutionize European painting. The art of the Impressionists was still unpopular, obliging Monet to offer his paintings for the price of a meal in a fancy Parisian restaurant. 1 p. In-8. - This item is under temporary import. If the item is delivered within the United Kingdom, it will be subject to a 5% Value Added Tax (VAT) on the hammer price.
