Noack,<BR/><BR/>Your question sent me back to reread some things that I haven't touched in many years.<BR/>Alas, I seem to be wrong about Daumier, or at least I can't find, or remember, where I read about that.<BR/>What I did find is certainly interesting enough. According to Robert Rosenblum in his big survey book, "19th Century Art," Renoir stole bread for him in the mid 1860s. Christoph Heinrich, in his book "Monet," says that Frederic Bazille frequently bought Monet's pictures to support him and his wife. Monet's family did not approve of Monet's marriage and cut off his support. He wrote back to them and told them (falsely) that he and Camille were separated. They promptly restored his allowance. He attempted suicide by throwing himself in the Seine after the birth of his first son Jean over anxieties about financially supporting a family.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-18811997631292667582008-09-02T09:33:00.000-04:002008-09-02T09:33:00.000-04:00what an interesting article.
