Claude Monet: Camille Pissarro
built 212 days ago
Monet could ... use the studio and paint its models for a low cost. He painted Camille Doncieux, and later they were married. He painted Women in the Garden in the late 1860s. They moved to a house in Argenteuil, near the Seine River, after he and his wife had their first child. They lived there for six years until Camille died; he painted her on her death-bed. Monet then moved to a house in Giverny, Eure, in the Haute-Normandie Region where he planted a large garden.

Never fully content, Monet went to Dieppe, Pourville and Varengeville-sur-Mer. His first wife Camille died in 1882, and in 1883 Monet finally settled in Giverny where he remained until his death. This geographical constant was coupled with the disintegration of the group of impressionists. Other influences and groups presented themselves and, gradually, each of the painters drifted away to pursue their own styles. Among the newcomers was Vincent van Gogh.

Monet was largely responsible for the first group show of the Impressionists, held in Paris in 1874. It was his painting Impression: Sunrise, 1872, that gave a focal point to the ridacule roused by the exhibition and its name to the Impressionist movement. For the next few years he was still in financial straits. With some help from Manet he struggled on. His second son, Michel, was born in 1878; in the autumn of 1879 Camille died.

In 1870, Monet married his model Camille Doncieux, who had given him his son Jean (1867-1914); in 1878 their second son, Michel, will be born. Camille posed for many paintings of Monet e.g. "The walkers", "Women in the garden" (Camille poses for the 4), "Woman with a parasol", "The Japanese woman", and many others.

Monet and Camille experienced periods of dire poverty in the early years. They borrowed money, even from friends, because it was a constant and major issue until he began enjoying critical and financial success in the late 1880’s.

At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Monet traveled to London, where he met the adventurous and sympathetic dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. The following year Monet and his wife, Camille, whom he had married in 1870, settled at Argenteuil, which became a semipermanent home (he continued to travel throughout his life) for the next 6 years.
