L\u00e9on Monet was the enabling sibling Claude needed.\u00a0<\/h2>

The artist once said,<\/a> “Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.\u201d Lacking compromise for art, he refused to join the family business. In Paris, Claude often left his sick wife alone all day to paint outside and attempted suicide due to financial and art world worries.<\/a> With Claude\u2019s troubles in art came blessings, thanks to his brother.\u00a0<\/p>

At an early Impressionist auction in 1875, L\u00e9on Monet bought his work, and that of fellow artists, spiking Claude\u2019s prices<\/a> when he had little clientele (or money and food). Claude needed to benefit from such \u201cprinciples of popularity\u201d<\/em> at a time when the art world rejected Impressionism; Leon\u2019s attention helped\u00a0 buoy the starving artist\u2019s reputation into, what would be, lasting cultural affection.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
