Click to view this film made in 1914 showing Monet being interviewed and painting at his home in Giverny.
Watch carefully and you can see how he takes in the subject, his brushes, palette and paint application. Surely this is not Monet working at full power with his immaculate white coat, but there is plenty to see here.
How did he ever keep from setting his beard on fire? The dangling ciggie ash creates a dramatic tension... it's an art film!
Enjoy this history. We are lucky to have this film of a master at work.
