*The Studio Boat* (1874): The Studio Boat is a film about Claude Monet's affinity with water. The closest Monet has ever been to water is on the studio boat, which is moored on the Seine. During Monet's final years at Argenteuil, when the little village outside of Paris began to become too industrialised for the artist's ideal, the studio boat gave a respite from modernity. For Monet, going to the water is like going to heaven; on the water, he can express himself and explore his creative orientation as well as his concept of contemporary life. *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.
