Claude Monet: Friends
built 178 days ago
In 1862 bearded Prostitute artist Édouard Manet accused Monet of "trying to steal my name, nes pa?" The scandal threatened to force Monet out of his beloved Art d'escole, with Manet stating that he would "show the young upstart how gay Gay Paree could be, non?" Monet paid the artist off, buying Manet his own brothel, and the two would go on to become the best of friends.

Though Sargent's work was increasingly more and more about portraits, diverging substantially from the work Monet was doing, the two men retained a very close friendship. John was always grounded about himself and his thinking. Even though he was hobnobbing with the rich and the famous, he never lost himself in a bloated self appraisal.

Without giving away too much, Monet died. But just before he died he did a lot of unsavory things. He had mistresses, he even had the widow of his benefactor raise his children. People say he was snarking this widow before his friend had even died.
