*Boulevard des Capucines* (1873): From the studio of Monet's friend, photographer Felix Nadar, the painting depicts the rush and bustle of Parisian life. Monet employs short, fast brushstrokes to create the "feeling" of people in a city alive with movement, with very little detail.��������� As the eye plunges into the deep channel of the busy street, and strives to disentangle the clues to the complex visual sensations supplied by a gazillion detached brushstrokes, Monet used the Japanese mobile viewpoint to embody the fragmentary, yet dynamic modern views of space.����*CLAUDE MONET (1845-1870) is one of the world's most famous painters, well-known today for his series of serene water lilies paintings, Claude Monet was instrumental in forging an entirely new direction for the world of art & impressionism. His distinctive use of colour, vision, and conformation would have a long influence on fine art, inspiring many great artists like Van Gogh.
