Question 1:
While Monet's "Water Lilies" series is his most famous work, the artist actually spent 43 years painting these scenes from his garden - what debilitating health condition affected him during the final 30 years of painting them, and how did he adapt his technique to continue creating masterpieces?
Question 2:
In 1872, Monet painted "Impression, Sunrise" in Le Havre harbor, which would inadvertently name an entire art movement - but what political and industrial upheaval was occurring in France at the time that made this seemingly peaceful harbor scene particularly significant?
Question 3:
During World War I, when Monet was in his 70s, he refused to leave his beloved garden in Giverny despite being just 40 miles from German forces - what specific request did France's Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau make of the elderly artist, and how did Monet respond?
Question 4:
Before achieving success, Monet faced severe financial hardship - what desperate measures did he take in 1878 to save his family from eviction, and which famous fellow artist stepped in to help despite facing poverty himself?
Question 5:
When Monet died in 1926, what unusual tradition did he request for his funeral that perfectly reflected his artistic philosophy, and how do modern art historians believe this final gesture influenced abstract expressionism decades later?
