Chapter 2
Monet’s interest in representing the ephemeral and changing effects of light led him to reflect profoundly on the very nature of painting through a study of “colour vibration”. Monet transforms the rhythms of nature into an expression of his own feelings through a free, loose technique in which the study of colour becomes the primary focus of the painting. This aspect of his work anticipates the chromatic abstractions of later artists like Hans Hofmann, Mark Rothko, Adolf Gottlieb and Esteban Vicente.
