Monet. In one part of the article Berger said how he didn't know why Monet would paint the same place multiple times, what he was trying to get out of it. As an artists I feel like you can paint or draw something as many times as you want, but you are never going to be able to fully express what you feel about that place. You can go over it in as many washes as you want, but there is always going to be the emotion inside of you.
In another part he talks about Monet painting his dead wife's portrait. It reminded me of the earlier article we read about the nursing home. Yes, when you paint you respond only to how you are seeing not necessarily what it is. I always feel bad for the models in class when the teacher compares them to being nothing different from painting a vase or ladder.
