The Impressionists at Argenteuil

Monet paints thick with strange combination of colour in later life probably because his eyesight was failing. He naturally was having difficultly coming to terms with blindness, every artist nightmare. he had a accurate memory for colour and would get his stepdaughter to help with the colour before applying it to the canvas.

Monet has crystallized a sound knowledge of the theories of colour perception, intentionally using warm nest to cool and yellow next to blue to vitalize his painting
