The Meaning and Purpose of Art — 6
Episode 6 : “Impression, Soleil Levant” — Claude Monet
If you are an art collector, then art does not really have any meaning for you, and the only purpose of art for you would be to earn profits.
However, for the rest of us, which includes the artist, the curator and the viewer, art can have very different meanings and a very different purpose.
I am a humanist in my values, so I tend to fall for Van Gogh’s quote; “ Art is to console those, who are broken by life,” and here in this blog I will discuss my view of looking at art.
This is a series, with multiple episodes (blogs). In this Episode, I will introduce you to a very popular work of art, my take on it, what does it mean, what is its purpose, and how does it help make the World, a better place to live in.

Claude Monet’s — “Impression, Soleil Levant”
Q. A history lesson … the beauty lies in the context …
To make it easy for for my non-French readers, “Soleil Levant,” means Sunrise.
