Monet More Necklaces

Monet is so famous because his work helped define the Impressionist movement. When producing his pieces, the French painter focused on showing how the eye perceives the world rather than attempting to portray landscapes and figures in a realistic style. His unique approach marked a step away from representative artwork and toward abstraction. As a result, his work influenced many other artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of fine art.
