Features: The 1874 presentation of Impression, Sunrise caused a sensation in the French art world. Impressionist painters and critics called him a "person with a diseased retina," shocking the art scene and sparking a revolution in painting. Monet used broken brushwork and delicate colors to depict the fleeting changes and dynamism of light. He rose to prominence with his Impressionist style. Later, his works Water Lilies can be considered the precursor to abstract art. Monet was a vision, a perspective; "Monet was merely a keen eye. But, oh, what a miraculous eye!" "If one day I could see Monet's garden, I imagine I would see a garden of colors, not just a garden of blooming flowers, but a garden of hues. The arrangement of the flowers does not follow the natural order; when planting, he intentionally grouped flowers with similar colors together to have them bloom simultaneously, creating a sea of blue or pink. This garden, meticulously designed by the painter, is colored in every detail. There are flowers on the ground, flowers in the water—Monet's gentle water lilies. This garden is not only the subject of his paintings but also a work of art, a creation completed in nature, shining brilliantly thanks to the painter's careful cultivation. Monet's garden is like a sketch, drawing inspiration from life, full of vitality, with colors already perfectly blended, utterly magnificent; the palette has formed, harmonious and pleasing to the eye."
