Brian Strand Poet Narrative

Vignette-Just As Things Are

A painter in Le Havre called Eugene
Found the 'outside' mor his scene
Monet quickly became a fan
Claude taking aboard the views of this man-
And so ,Impressionism began

Note:Monet (1840-1926)& Eugene Boudin(met in 1858) Claude labelled a painting in Eugene's 
style 'Impressionism Sunrise'.Scorned by the critics(at first !)Monet & his friends 
Dgas,Cezanne,Renoir et al adopted Monet's title to describe their revolutionary style
