Claude Monet - Filmed Painting Outdoors (1915)

[@henniebogan1966]

To have footage of the greatest impressionist in history is just amazing. Wish there was more.

[@Nurse3811]

I’m in tears that I found this ! Studying him in art class and had no idea I could see film footage of him at work. Amazed at the white suit -I’m always getting paint all over my ripped up jeans and cell phone ! Long live Monet!

[@JohnRaymondHall]

extraordinary to be able to see him at work!

[@jatindertakhar2591]

Amazing ! Everyone should visit his house and gardens in Giverny.The house is exactly as it was during his lifetime and the gardens are extremely beautiful.

[@MSYNGWIE12]

I am all choked up, as art history grad never knew this existed! Ah, I can feel the breeze. Namaste John

[@vasiliskardasis8642]

I’m so honoured to have lived to see what this man has done. Furthermore, being in his house and garden, made me stop breathing. I’m so grateful to my eyes..for without them, I’d not been able to see this marvel.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

i feel honoured too - it's amazing to see this great Impressionist artist at work in his garden

All the old footages of the world fascinates me i from Brazil in not a rich city, and without the internet i never has meet this kind of things , this is just amazing

[@JohnRaymondHall]

i remember getting the internet for the first time and it opened up whole new worlds to me - this kind of old footage fascinates me too - we are similar in this! :)

Io mi sono commossa. Questo video è una vera perla. Grazie Sacha Guitry,grazie a chi l'ha postato. Meraviglioso Monet

[@Liz-lx2un]

I love the piano music. I was surprised to see Claude Monet doesn't have his canvas sitting in front of what he is painting - that he instead turns his head to look as he paints. I would think that would hurt his neck. These moments are a great insight to these wonderful painters. Thanks for posting.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Elizabeth Krill - the music is from the introduction to the second movement of Chopin's second piano concerto - i love it too. i think that Monet was posing rather than seriously painting - in the Victorian period photographs and painting of family groups were also unnaturally posed or set up - it seemed the right thing to do given that these images were for posterity rather than capture a candid moment. glad you liked these posts too, cheers

[@Liz-lx2un]

Thanks for explaining that. Yes, I can see now he was hamming it up for the camera, but being a serious painter. I hope to visit Monet's garden someday.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Elizabeth Krill i'd love to visit it too - probably bump into you there!

[@Liz-lx2un]

I'm not sure when I may go. There is a possibility I may get to Ireland next year with a school group depending on the scholarships. It is uncertain at this time. I'm worried about the flood of migrants and immigration and the rioting I have been seeing. Perhaps it will die down by then. But yes, France is a beautiful place to relax and take in the sun, enjoy the parks and flowers and dream of art and the old masters.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Elizabeth Krill i spent time as a kid in France and have great visceral pleasure in just being there - the scent of the Metro is like Proust's madeleine for me! and i like the different attitude to life that using French offers as a possibility - greater freedom for this part Anglo-Saxon!

The "gentleman" in question is the famous actor and author Sacha Guitry, who made a serie of movies, like this one, about famous people of his time (around 1915) : Auguste Rodin, Pierre Renoir, Anatole France, Sarah Bernhardt, and many others...

I lived in France during the 70's, the gardens at Giverny were in complete ruin. I was astonished the French would allow such a treasure to deteriorate. In any case, this is two minutes of pure magic. Thank you.

Thanks John, you piqued my interest, and I was reminded of the farm in Provence of Renoir. There is a book called Renoir's Garden that I think you would find interesting, also Cezanne's Les Louves. Again, Thank you.

[@q2breath]

Amazing, thank you for sharing!

[@MrZooganopolos]

After seeing what was likely this same film at the Philadelphia Art Museum years ago, and then visiting the Monet Gardens in Japan, it's nice to see this again.

Aside from the painting at the beginning (which someone will now tell me was by Monet himself and I'll have to grovel) what a delightful little film this is. It is perfect, and the music so sensitively chosen, though someone will say very obvious (perhaps). And that is exactly what an artist is, so observant and getting things down as they flash away, and smoking. Charming. And also: well, yes rare, but really rare. You think: there is a man in paradise. That is what paradise IS. Thanks JH

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+greenviolets1 hi! yes, it's a self-portrait from 1886 - but don't grovel - we are all wrong at times and, besides, grovelling can be tough on the knees! i over use the Chopin - can't seem to get away from it. it has just the right reflective back-ward looking quality that seems to make it perfect for this kind on video. it so interesting to see Monet applying paint to canvass - you get a small sense of his method - though you want the camera at a different angle to better see. did you see the footage of Renoir and Degas?

+John Hall Oh over-use the Chopin all you like, it's not as if Monet painted one waterlily petal and called it a day. I did see the other two and will watch them again, but I liked this one the best because he's so frisky. It's nice to see a proper artist using a brush and inside all he sees. When I watched this it immediately reminded me of Yasmin in My Uncle Oswald when she has to go visit all the famous artists of the day and seduce them and they give her paintings and she cannot speak about these untouchable experiences, so ravished by the visionary access she's been subjected to. Which is WHAT art is MEANT to be, though I'm having a very hard time persuading anyone of this, still less acquiring a waterlily garden or a even a POND so I can get on with what I'm meant to do and save the world from the death of the spirit singlehandedly. I realise these men faced trouble in the day what with radical ideas about recording light and so on, but they did not face the trouble of persuading people that art itself had meaning and so did humanity, and degrading one ends the other, which is the problem now. It's like explaining God to a carrot.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+greenviolets1 thanks for indulging my overuse of Chopin, as i also do the Adagietto from Mahler's Symphony No. 5 yes, he does seems frisky - in fact the film seems more modern than that of Renoir i love your reference to Yasmin in My Uncle Oswald - i agree there's seems to almost be a political correctness is seeing art this way - as i do too. i was at a concert given by Janet Baker and the soprano sang an aria from Adriadne auf Naxos which was so overwhelmingly expressively and beautifully sung we had to leave at interval so as not to disturb the experience. yes, the sense of what art is is lost - it has for so many become either a status symbol or an investment, devoid of itself "It's like explaining God to a carrot." - the perfect metaphor! i enjoyed this enormously - i have a big grin on my face right now!

+John Hall Oh not Mahler too. Well I prefer Monet really, of the bunch: and I am not sure why. Ah yes I do know: he was inside nature - so inside he built nature all around him so he could create within. This is quite a feat. Samuel Palmer does this (sort of) - while Renoir and Degas are more interested in people or at the least distance (though they are lovely too). Now the Monet, he didn't just love flowers, he actually was them. And this is the sort of thing people should see and feel now, instead of being either rational or boring, and do not give a hoot what these redundant investors think though I am daily just really really angry about poor Van Gogh, misunderstood all his life, seeing so much more and so upset that no on else could see it too, and herded into looney bins and insane with God and rage ALL BECAUSE OF just the very same people who pay millions for his work now. It makes me want to force people to pass an exam to see his work, to prove they have a similar spirit or NO ENTRY. What I cannot bear is the slowness of apprehension and the terrible avarice, and the ridiculous way that even now you probably have to die for your art - do mention just ONE since 1945, one alone who is real. By now we ought to be capable of preserving people with vision not leaving it to nasty businessmen who have no right to even call themselves artists to sweep the board with their sad offerings when they will not last the night. Even Monet lived in terrible poverty for a while and he wasn't, shall we say, subject to despair and mania, but the love of the lilies alone - this need to be no longer human but at one with eternity - this is the very thing, the very meaning of it, and now you are ostracised if you can draw, and we call this civilisation, or at the least equal opportunities? Well yes, but for anyone who's a genuine artist. How come you agree with me? A strange thing. I have heard of Ariadne of Naxos but never heard her. Well I thought actually carrots probably understand God very well, so it's only superficially nail on the head. Or do they understand God? Yes, but do they understand the explanation. No. I will listen to this Adagio, maybe it's the Death in Venice one - I think it is. Now that I used to play hour upon hour. You can't really overuse it. I have a Monet calender on my wall, just as it happens. It ought to be the whole wall. Monet understood death. It is bad we cannot have these people doing these things, advancing us, quite wrong that they are not allowed to be. I think the Adagietto would do for the waterlilies too.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+greenviolets1 i prefer Monet too - more modern in one sense - the paintings like those of waterlilies while representation can also almost be seen as abstract - an interesting balance between the two. i remember being mesmerised by some of these works in the Jeu de Paume in Paris as a kid (they are now in the Musée d’Orsay). yes Renoir and Degas are more interested in capturing the social world and this i think dates them more than Monet. yes, he gets inside nature, as you say. the very essence of it in the way colours light the eyeball. i’ve never seen/heard the Strauss opera ‘Ariadne of Naxos’ on stage - only the aria i mentioned in concert by Dame Janet Baker. yes, the investment market of art can be totally disconnected from art as real value - and artists are often valued by the critics (and so the art market) often by how they fir into what is current or established at the moment. new directions can be missed in this way of going about things. “Monet understood death” - so yes, the Adagietto would have been very right too - that deep longing back from the edge of unknowing death.

It was great to see 2 ancients I love, Renor and Monet. Both seemed quite flamboyant and smokers, before the age of cancer. These 2, despite their flamboyance and sinful depravity, remain my favorite artists amidst many masters. I have studied these 2 for hours and always discovered newness of beauty and prettiness that I SO love and cherish.

A chaque coup de pinceau il tourne la tête pour voir le paysage qu'il peint c'est étonnant ! les tableaux de C Monet ne sont pas célèbres pour la beauté du détail mais pour l'impression , l'ambiance , la sensation de l'environnement , l'odeur plus que la couleur . Il a travaillé les très grandes Nympheas exposées au Musée de l'orangerie à Paris dans son Atelier et pas en extérieur : c'est le fait de se savoir filmé qui lui donne peut être cette attitude ( je le pense ) Document unique de voir Claude Monet filmé ici J don't write english excuse me , very very difficult to write my comments but french people only sorry Mister John Hall

[@severinkron5615]

I love this little film, it is so poetic by the magical play of light and shadow provided by ancient film technique...... and monet is like a rock, a painting animal, he is his painting ...

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Séverin KRÖN yes, exactly, and the play of light was something that the impressionists were so interested in exploring in terms of how it effected or created colours outdoors.

[@severinkron5615]

Sure, ...but what I want to stress here, is that art doesn't seem to be about realism or hd photorealism. It is about expressing an emotional and spiritual intention. It is interesting that a distance between perception and it's rendering by a medium often has a greater impact on the senses and emotions than realism. In this film the black and white of ancient film making creates poetry. In Monets paintings, the flou and very free application of paint on the canvas, the freedome of his gesture...creates the subtle light of cosmic nature !

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Séverin KRÖN yes, art can be about many other things as well as realism or hd photo-realism. - the focus can be on i remember taking two courses in aesthetics in my first degree in fine art and the lecturer asking what we thought art was about and he led us through a range of possibilities - art as social political polemic (as in Picasso's 'Guernica'), as psychological revelation (as Lucian Freud), as formalist explorations of colour, shapes and abstract design (as in the work of Kazimir Malevich) - till we understood it is not just one activity with one underlying goal. and of course a work contains many of these elements, with perhaps one dominant. this was very exhilarating for us to come to grips with. like with you i am most and deeply engaged when the emotional and spiritual are at the forefront.

[@severinkron5615]

+John Hall Ok you are right, art can be many things and have very different goals.......It's just that I am very focused on what is important to me. But can't we say that art in general, in some manner has to create some kind of distance, some kind of disortion of the perception to have it's impact? It's a real question for me.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

+Séverin KRÖN i agree - art is for many people, including me to some degree, one thing - it reflects one's own predispositions, values and so on - there's art i love (what's important to me) and then art i can admire (and do not love but understand is good art). i think your (very interesting) point that "art in general, in some manner has to create some kind of distance, some kind of distortion of the perception" fits into this. it's true for us (me and you) now but in the C18 in the work of, say, Canaletto there's not this distortion (if i'm reading your comment correctly - maybe i've missed the point LOL!)

[@zthetha]

Wow! Just look at the ash on that Gauloise. They don't make cigarettes like that any more! Monet was my first love as a young artist. He seemed to epitomise everything French, chic and natural. His water lilies - painted to the sound of German guns - were a consummate play of figurative and abstract and I thought for a time were the absolute pinnacle of painterly expression. However, after not seeing his work for many years it comes across as little more than decorative - even escapist. Like most of us, Monet was nostalgic for a time that never existed in a stress-free world where people were simply another feature of an idealised landscape. Perhaps he was a man of his time - essentially the mid 19th century - before industrial technology had imposed itself on every facet of life - especially warfare with its monstrous killing machines. And maybe that is why he painted the large water lilies - in a desperate attempt to turn the clock back from the horror of the present to arcadia of the past... but what he painted was the dissolving, the dissolution of that dream which, alas, never had substance anyway.

[@JohnRaymondHall]

willie otoole hi Willie Monet was an early favourite of mine too - as a kid i saw his Blue Water Lilies in Paris at Le Louvre, before the Impressionists' work was moved to the Musée d'Orsay - i loved that the painting sat between paint and representation, not really tipping either way. i have seen his work everywhere - from ads to billboards and i can become desensitized to it. and like you much art does not make much sense against the many of the atrocities perpetrated against people and animals in the world today - a sort of crazed escapism.

wise choice to get some footage

[@JohnRaymondHall]

hi artdecochicgirl i was too - and at uni - my first degree was in fine art with a focus on C19 French painting and C20 architecture ...and then i went off on another direction, but maintained the interest - hard to let it go! :)
