"my face has lit up after all a lot since, but it was indeed me, extremely tired and charged with electricity as i was then" one thing claude monet said was "color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment.” he loved color and the way he could use it to show light and dark. he tried to find ways to use it side by side and see how light affected it.
