Monet was famous for landscapes, light, and color.
Suddenly, he obsessed over black smoke and a dull station.
No one understood.
The authorities didn’t understand either: Monet asked to change the train schedule to "play" with smoke and light.
The result changed everything.
Monet's Gare Saint-Lazare series, 1877, 12 paintings, reflects his obsession with capturing the modernity of Paris.
Monet's perfectionism drove him to extremes:
🔹️ Ignoring those who said smoke and a station made no sense and would be a failure.
🔹️This led him to spend countless hours at the station, observing the effects of smoke and light.
🔹️Unsatisfied, he managed to persuade the authorities to change the train schedules.
🔹️And once completed, he defended his work against initial criticism.
The result is history.
What was more important? Having talent? Persevering? Innovating? Defending your ideas to the end?

Dogs are hospitable. Three of them bring a stray cat home & show an empty bowl to their owner so he can feed the cat. Empathy & kindness are gifts for any being.
