莫內喜歡畫光,特別是清晨河面的光。他不跟從傳統的畫法,而是用自己的方式,捕捉眼前轉變的景色。一開始沒有人懂他的畫,但他不氣餒,持續創作,最後讓大家看見畫裡的光和感覺。這本繪本帶我們認識這位愛畫光的畫家,也鼓勵我們用自己的眼睛看世界。A new picture book about the iconic artist Claude Monet, from the Caldecott-Award winning team that created The Noisy Paint Box.Claude Monet is one of the world's most beloved artists--and he became famous during his own lifetime. He rejected a traditional life laid out clean and smooth before him. Instead he chose a life of art. But not just any art: a new way of seeing that came to be called impressionism.Monet loved to paint what he saw around him, particularly the Seine River. He was initially rejected for using bright colors, tangled brushstrokes--condemned for his impressions. But soon art dealers and collectors were lining up each morning to see as Monet saw. Monet, however, waited only for the light. The changing light...each morning he had a dozen canvases on hand to paint a dozen different moments. His brush moved back and forth, chasing sunlight--putting in the
