White is good for reflecting the light back on to the canvas. Lots of artists wear black while working so there is no reflection. He was so interested in light. 🥰
So fortunate to have this film footage..Perhaps Mr. Monet requested the photographer not to film his artwork "in progress" directly...who knows...but, Thank you for sharing...
What an amazing and joyful thing to see this gifted artist (my favorite) at work!!! Thank you!! When my husband and I were in Paris in 1991, we saw Monet’s huge water lilies paintings in l’Orangerie. What an experience that was. Unforgettable. 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️💥
Monet is a very great painter, and I do not just mean the big water lilies! His ability to "compose" was unequaled. And he captured actual painterly light better than has ever been done by others. I like looking to his lesser known paintings to appreciate his genius.
Maybe voice track Bob Ross over the painting scene. As old as this maybe - it was restored wonderfully. I wish only they would had showed the painting.
It's because his canvas, 2 metres in size, was too large to be able to see the subject over it. So he had to place it at a right angle and gaze sideways.
As an artist I find that if I am working on a piece where I am attempting to EXACTLY duplicate the subject matter (in a realistic manner) then I want minimal time between seeing the object and applying the pigment in order to capture the accuracy (quick furtive glances back and forth), but if I am working more loosely and abstract (or impressionistic in his case) then simply referring back to the subject for hints of color or motion or form (as he does here) allows my own version of the subject to be more prevalent. I cannot speak for his reasoning, and maybe it is purely as Dugald stated about the big canvas, but this is common to many artists. Amazing footage! And beautiful music.
Does anyone know the name of the background music. CZcams in their infinite wisdom gave the name of the performing artist but neglected to name the composition. Thank you ever so much.
Chopin - Pianoconcerto no.2, 2nd part (Romance:Larghetto). I'd also recommend: Chopin - Piano Concerto no. 1 in E minor, Op. 11, Mov. 2. - May be even more beautiful...
Monet was painting in the garden of his house, in Giverny north west of Paris. You can still visit the house and gardens, kept as they were when he lived there. Monet is buried in the church cemetery just down the road from the house.
He mainly just painted a bunch of water lily paintings at this house location, seeing them as an 'abstract' type of subject & you can faintly see the shape of large lilies in the center. He said the subject does not matter. He was concerned with the lighting. (I personally wish he had not believed that, & had painted more subjects. With his great painting skill, I would have loved to see it applied more vastly).
Painting all that beautiful color in a white suit. Thank you, Monsieur Monet, for sharing your exquisite artistry.
I can’t even eat cereal in a white shirt without spilling 🙈
@@Engelhafen~ ;)
It's a black and white film. Maybe it's not a white suit. It could be yellow.

How fabulous to watch Monet at his easel! And he paints with such calm, and he seems so relaxed!
He's not a frantic painter, that's for sure.
Thank you for this video. It's a pleasure to see this great artist alive.
This small movie is a gem , showing the Master working on his painting !

Thank you very much for sharing this precious footage and the background music
the young man he 's talking to is Sacha Guitry and it's taken from a film called "Ceux de chez nous (film, 1915)" a film directed by sacha

Que maravilha! No outro dia assisti Renoir, agora o meu preferido, Monet! Breve, brevíssimo, porém, tocante! Gratidão!! Paz e Bem!
I wonder if I’ve ever seen this painting? What an exquisite environment! Would be great to see this bit of film colorized!

Emotional for me to see this. Thank you for sharing.
the master at work, just magical.
Pure joy!
Thank you!

Most painters today face the subject, but Monet stood at an angle to it.
I wonder why. Great little piece of footage.
Thinking the same thing…
It's because his canvas, 2 metres in size, was too large to be able to see the subject over it. So he had to place it at a right angle and gaze sideways.
Makes sense
As an artist I find that if I am working on a piece where I am attempting to EXACTLY duplicate the subject matter (in a realistic manner) then I want minimal time between seeing the object and applying the pigment in order to capture the accuracy (quick furtive glances back and forth), but if I am working more loosely and abstract (or impressionistic in his case) then simply referring back to the subject for hints of color or motion or form (as he does here) allows my own version of the subject to be more prevalent.

Awesome video! Thanks so much.
Txx for this out of the time moment of happyness !
Thank you.
Maravilloso ❤🌹🌟🌾
Здорово увидеть мастеров живых за работой, с папироской увидеть кисти .спасибо.
All I can say is - nice beard, tan, and hat... What a great man.
Incredible footage ❤️
MONET, Chopin ! .
Love this!
Maravilhoso!!!!👏👏👏👏🌹
What a genius.
How did they get their whites so CLEAN! They’re almost Effuse.
Great footage.
What a garden!
poor camera work did not show what he did on the canvas…otherwise, the film is significant reference of history of Monet….thank you for showing it.
The cameraman was as gifted as Monet himself!
Giverny. That's his garden. It's my favorite painting of his, although he had painted it a few decades before this.
That's way too cool!♥
WOW, just wow!
Masterful!
Can’t help wondering if his cigarette ash got mixed in with his paint? Great footage. He was a brilliant painter.
😂😅😂
That was exactly what I was thinking of!😄
Ha, was thinking the same 😀
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Incroyable!
fabulous!

Monet gran pintor impresionista,tremendo colorido.
Surprised this hasn't been colorized yet.

@@petermond9955 Thank you. I can rest easy now. That selection was so beautiful.
wonderful! What would i give to earn this painting.....
I like the hat!
It covered his eyes well and his beard showed little face. Wondering if he was a bit of a hermit.
Lovely but a pity no shots of paint being applied.
Looks like that man he is talking to is Sasha Guitry.
...someone out there I'm sure can let us know where this location is...and record it.

Giverny .Los nenúfares. Abrazo❤👍
✌🏻♥️
Bogarting that cigarette ash...
Monet don't give a sht. 😆
Put some blue here, some yellow over here, ahhh what the hell I'll just mix them all together, I'm hungry.
in a white suit?
Would it have been too much to ask the camera to be pointed at the front of the canvas so we could actually see what he was painting !!!!!
🌈💝
Does anyone know what painting he was doing?
you can clearly see the bridge and lilies
He mainly just painted a bunch of water lily paintings at this house location, seeing them as an 'abstract' type of subject & you can faintly see the shape of large lilies in the center. He said the subject does not matter. He was concerned with the lighting. (I personally wish he had not believed that, & had painted more subjects. With his great painting skill, I would have loved to see it applied more vastly).
Show me the Monet.
But you just see Monet; don't see the painting!!!
Lousy camera work. All you see is Monet from the side and none of the canvas and what he's actually painting. Very disappointing.
Probably it wasn't that easy to move the film camera. It was heavy and sat on a stand.
Perhaps they should have used an iPhone?
@@emlyngriffith5846 Three cameras for different angles perhaps?
wat a load of rubbish
He was an insipid painter.
what? did you want him to juggle, sing and dance whilst twirling that paint brush between his fingers like a baton? lol...
Imagine a world where everybody had the same likeness
