He chose Normandy, where he was born to settle and create his special world. As he dined on the wonderful Camembert cheese of Normandy and sipped his favorite champagne or Calvados, when the right light effect was present, nothing would stop him from running to his canvases and capturing the effect. That is what  Impressionism is all about, the light effect. This site  allows you to experience the totality of the life of Claude Monet. For the very first time those who love Claude Monet will have a place to interact, and  share art, cooking, travelling and gardening tips at the message center.   Donations  to the Musée d'Art Américain, Giverny, 99 rue Claude Monet, Giverny, France  must be  be given  directly to this wonderful museum at their website which is www.maag.org. The museum is devoted to the art and artists that walked in the steps of Monet. When Claude Monet moved to Giverny in 1883, many American and European artists settled down in the village until World War I and formed an important colony of impressionist painters. This colony of artists developed itself around painters like Theodore Robinson, Lilla Cabot Perry, Frederick MacMonnies, Frederick Carl Frieseke, etc. ClaudeMonet.org and MonetsPalate.com are proud to help the tradition Claude Monet started in his small town in Normandy, Giverny, France. - Aileen Bordman Your JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN VISIT:  WWW.MONETSPALATE.COM  AND BECOME INVOLVED AT THE SITE DEDICATED TO THE FATHER OF IMPRESSIONISM, CLAUDE MONET.
