Claude Monet
(French, 1864-1949)
Wild Poppies, Near Argenteuil, 1873
Oil on canvas
The models were Monet's wife and son, painted twice.
As has been noted, the Impressionists painted not a landscape but the impression of a landscape. Nothing here is painted exactly; rather, everything is suggested. Monet unforgettably evokes a mood by choosing these shades of green and red. If he painted flowers of another color, the hillside would be stagnant.from Color Vision and Art.
