Impressionists paint colors perceived with natural light, with little importance given to details. Around the time that steam shipping became increasingly prevalent Monet stopped including the element of smoke in his river based pieces.The great French artist, Claude Monet, was responsible for introducing the idea of impression to the art movement of those who painted what they perceived at a certain point in time. Other modern day critics refute this political money driven portrayal of Monet however, by noting that other directions proved that his work was less focused on political popularity. Spate's criticism goes further in suggesting that Monet's sole purpose towards the latter half of his career was wealth driven and that many of his pieces were specifically marketed and "designed for speculation". She cites about his work that: "By 1880 he had quite evidently begun to elaborate and finish many of them at his leisure, away from the motif and 'in the studio' - a method incompatible with the classic Impressionist dogma of instantaneity" and that "Monet's projected press image was somewhat dishonest". His outdoor paintings, she notes, were clearly embellished by the artist, as he would often finish such works indoors. Spate's criticism is also leveled at Monet's dishonesty regarding the style of his paintings. The critic believes that Monet may have been influenced by France's desire to compete as a major force in the art world once more. Virginia Spate suggests that Monet's turn to series paintings may have been for monetary and political reasons as opposed to artistic ones. The critic notes that this change went hand-in-hand with the changing social conditions in France at the time.

Contemporary criticism seemed determined to label Monet as someone who was purely concerned with the visceral and such an obsession made his work somewhat simple. Monet's contemporaries described him as portraying "retinal painting". With collated evidence some have noted that Monet's motives may not have been as straightforward as they first seemed. Yet, despite the positives, some modern day critics are more sparing with their praise for Monet. Monet's legacy and the peoples' love for Impressionism is still clear from the myriad of galleries and effusive praise after his death. In addition to this some critics are dubious of Monet's artistic integrity with regards to his money making endeavors, of which he was greatly successful. ![]() Amongst Monet's modern day critical reception many essayists and scholars believe that there was more incentive behind Monet's Impressionist style than merely the artistic ideals. As Impressionism began to be accepted more and more into the mainstream of artistic institutions, this view softened into praise. Monet's vision was appreciated and derived in equal measure among his contemporaries. ![]() For the artist involved in this movement the depiction of light and the color was at the center of their new creative vision. At its inception critics didn't quite understand that the concentration of Impressionism wasn't the traditional detailed view of peoples and places that had previously marked such works. Like many Impressionist painters, Claude Monet received a great deal of harsh criticism for his vibrantly bold new artistic movement.
