Impressions Claude Monet-(FRA)

Written in French

A biographical comic book that traces Claude Monet's life through successive brushstrokes, in the style of an Impressionist painting: the smoky cafés of Batignolles, the heated debates against academic art, the light of Normandy and Venice, among other things.

"What I do here will at least have the merit of not resembling anyone else's work, because it will be the impression of what I, and I alone, have felt."
He wanted to paint light. He devoted his life to pursuing the elusive. Though initially rejected by the art world and mocked by the guardians of good taste, Claude Monet never stopped seeing the world differently.

Alongside Renoir, Pissarro, and Morisot, he forged decisive friendships and took part in an artistic revolution that would forever change the way we see the world. But behind the celebrated genius lies a man marked by grief, hardship, and a growing obsession: to capture, on canvas, the passage of time. From the cafés of Paris to the gardens of Giverny, Stephen Desberg and Miville Vallor paint a vibrant, sensitive, and deeply human portrait of the father of Impressionism.
A lifetime devoted to capturing what, by its very nature, eludes us: light, the moment, time.
