“I am not a great painter. I only know that I do what I can to convey what I experience before nature, and that most often, in order to succeed in conveying what I feel, I totally forget the most elementary rules of painting, if they exist that is. In short, I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same, and this is what makes me despair.” (Claude Monet, 7 June 1912)
Based on over 3000 letters written by Claude Monet, this biographical film brings to light the rich inner life of the artist who painted "Impression, Sunrise", a work that inadvertently gave the Impressionist movement its name.

About Films in Conjunction with "Into The Modern"
Conceived in conjunction with the exhibition, Into the Modern: Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this programme of screenings and associated performances offers a deeper study of the social context and relationships that shaped Impressionism—the interactions between artists as well as their exchanges with the art establishment and collectors of the time—and the movement’s affinities with other art practices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
