He was an impressionist painter.
When you look at his paintings from close up, you can't tell what it is, but from farther away you can see what it really is.
He was from France.
He painted water lilies and painted in nature. He painted quickly because he didn't want how it looked [the light] to get out of his head.
He wanted to be an artist but his parents wanted him to help with their grocery store. He didn't want to help, and he met a painter who taught him how to use oil paints.
