Editorial Reviews

It was Claude Monet’s Impression: soleil levant which gave the impressionist school its name. Famed for seeing the subtle nuances of color, light and atmosphere in landscape, Monet’s great works include Haystacks and Waterlillies. This program features footage from L’Orangerie and from Monet’s house and gardens at Giverny plus special film shot at London’s Savoy Hotel, from where Monet painted his famous views of London.

3.0 out of 5 stars THE impressionist, December 18, 2007

This review is from: The Impressionists: Monet (DVD)

I've been watching many docs on impressionists lately. Because Monet was probably the most famous of the group, every other doc refers to him. So this presented things I already knew. But if you like to learn about the most famous and then move to the obscure, you may want to see this first.

It turns out his first name was Oscar, not Claude. Like Kahlo, Rembrandt, and many other artists, he had severe financial concerns.

If you love impressionism, then you'll feel good seeing so much of his work. The narrator had horrid French pronunciation. That annoying expert with the squeaky, mousy voice is here again. Hopefully she won't grate on your nerves.
