    Claude Monet Attunement(LWSystem)Rev. Farhad Najafi is probably one of the most productive system founders in the World. Before he

    joined the LightWorker System, he had made more than 250 attunements including manuals.

    Farhad Najafi lives in Teheran, the capitol of Iran, former known as Persia, which has been a

    cultural centre for many centuries.

    Farhad Najafi is a teacher of many systems as well as an ordained minister in the Universal LifeChurch like many others of the LightWorker System founders. It is with great pleasure, that we

    present some of his work here, as it will take some time until we get all of his systems into the

    LightWorker format.

    The text in these manuals is mainly from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but most usually they

    don't contain the whole passage from Wikipedia. Farhad Najafi has chosen the parts relevant to the

    person and have omitted most technical information; the in-text references, and used the British

    spelling. The pictures and final layout have been added by Jens Seborg.

    Oscar-Claude MonetClaude Monet (14 November 1840 5December 1926) was a founder ofFrench impressionist painting, and themost consistent and prolific practitioner

    of the movement's philosophy of ex-pressing one's perceptions before na-ture, especially as applied to plein-airlandscape painting. The term Impres-sionism is derived from the title of hispainting Impression, Sunrise.

    Claude Monet was born on 14November 1840 on the fifth floor of 45rue Laffitte, in the 9th arrondissement of

    Paris. He was the second son of Claude-Adolphe and Louise-Justine AubreMonet, both of them second-generationParisians. On 20 May 1841, he was

    baptised in the parish church, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, as Oscar-Claude. In1845, his family moved to Le Havre inNormandy.

    His father wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but Monet wanted to become anartist. His mother was a singer. On the first of April 1851, Monet entered the Le Havresecondary school of the arts. He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures, whichhe would sell for ten to twenty francs. Monet also undertook his first drawing lessons from

    Jacques-Franois Ochard, a former student of Jacques-Louis David. On the beaches ofNormandy in about 1856/1857 he met fellow artist Eugne Boudin, who became his mentor andtaught him to use oil paints. Boudin taught Monet "en plein air" (outdoor) techniques forpainting.

    On 28 January 1857 his mother died. He was 16 years old when he left school and went to livewith his widowed childless aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.

    On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt, 1868. An early example of plein-air impressionism, inwhich a gestural and suggestive use of oil paint was presented as a finished work of art.

    When Monet travelled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the oldmasters. Monet, having brought his paints and other tools with him, would instead go and sit

    by a window and paint what he saw. Monet was in Paris for several years and met several

    painters who would become friends and fellow impressionists. One of those friends wasdouard Manet.

    In June 1861 Monet joined the First Regiment of African Light Cavalry in Algeria for two yearsof a seven-year commitment, but upon his contracting typhoid his aunt Marie-Jeanne Lecadreintervened to get him out of the army if he agreed to complete an art course at a university. It ispossible that the Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind, whom Monet knew, may haveprompted his aunt on this matter. Disillusioned with the traditional art taught at universities, in1862 Monet became a student of Charles Gleyre in Paris, where he met Pierre-Auguste Renoir,

    Frdric Bazille and Alfred Sisley. Together they shared new approaches to art, painting theeffects of light en plein air with broken colour and rapid brushstrokes, in what later came to beknown as Impressionism.

    Monet's Camille or The Woman in the Green Dress(La Femme la Robe Verte shown to the left,painted in 1866, brought him recognition and wasone of many works featuring his future wife,Camille Doncieux; she was the model for the

    figures in The Woman in the Garden of thefollowing year, as well as for On the Bank of theSeine, Bennecourt, 1868, pictured here. Shortlythereafter Doncieux became pregnant and gave

    birth to their first child, Jean. In 1868, due tofinancial pressures, Monet attempted suicide bythrowing himself into the Seine.

    After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War (19 July 1870), Monet took refuge in England in

    September 1870. While there, he studied the worksof John Constable and Joseph Mallord WilliamTurner, both of whose landscapes would serve toinspire Monet's innovations in the study of colour.In the Spring of 1871, Monet's works were refusedauthorisation to be included in the Royal Academyexhibition.

    In May 1871 he left London to live in Zaandam, where he made 25 paintings (and the police

    suspected him of revolutionary activities). He also paid a first visit to nearby Amsterdam. InOctober or November 1871 he returned to France. Monet lived from December 1871 to 1878 atArgenteuil, a village on the Seine near Paris, and here he painted some of his best knownworks. In 1874, he briefly returned to Holland.

    Monet and Camille Doncieux had married just before the war (28 June 1870) and, after theirexcursion to London and Zaandam, they had moved into a house in Argenteuil near the Seinein December 1871. It was during this time that Monet painted various works of modern life inthis popular suburb.

    In 1872 (or 1873), he painted Impression, Sunrise (Impression: soleil levant) depicting a LeHavre landscape. It hung in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 and is now displayed inthe Muse Marmottan Monet, Paris.

    From the painting's title, art critic Louis Leroy coined the term "Impressionism", which heintended as disparagement but which the Impressionists appropriated for themselves.

    Camille became ill in 1876. They had a second son, Michel, on 17 March 1878, (Jean was born in1867). This second child weakened her already fading health. In that same year, he moved to thevillage of Vtheuil. At the age of thirty-two, Madame Monet died on 5 September 1879 oftuberculosis; Monet painted her on her death bed.

    After several difficult months following the death of Camille on 5 September 1879, a grief-stricken Monet (resolving never to be mired in poverty again) began in earnest to create some ofhis best paintings of the 19th century. During the early 1880s Monet painted several groups oflandscapes and seascapes in what he considered to be campaigns to document the Frenchcountryside. His extensive campaigns evolved into his series' paintings.

    Camille Monet had become ill with tuberculosis in 1876. Pregnant with her second child shegave birth to Michel Monet in March 1878. In 1878 the Monets temporarily moved into thehome of Ernest Hosched, (1837-1891), a wealthy department store owner and patron of thearts. Both families then shared a house in Vtheuil during the summer. After her husband(Ernest Hosched) became bankrupt, and left in 1878 for Belgium, in September 1879, and whileMonet continued to live in the house in Vtheuil; Alice Hosched helped Monet to raise his twosons, Jean and Michel, by taking them to Paris to live alongside her own six children.

    They were Blanche, Germaine, Suzanne, Marthe, Jean-Pierre, and Jacques. In the spring of 1880Alice Hosched and all the children left Paris and rejoined Monet still living in the house inVtheuil. In 1881 all of them moved to Poissy which Monet hated. From the doorway of thelittle train between Vernon and Gasny he discovered Giverny. In April 1883 they moved toVernon, then to a house in Giverny, Eure, in Upper Normandy, where he planted a largegarden where he painted for much of the rest of his life. Following the death of her estranged

    husband, Alice Hosched married Claude Monet in 1892.

    At the beginning of May 1883, Monet and his large family rented a house and 2 acres (8,100 m2)from a local landowner. The house was situated near the main road between the towns ofVernon and Gasny at Giverny. There was a barn that doubled as a painting studio, orchardsand a small garden. The house was close enough to the local schools for the children to attendand the surrounding landscape offered an endless array of suitable motifs for Monet's work.The family worked and built up the gardens and Monet's fortunes began to change for the

    better as his dealer Paul Durand-Ruel had increasing success in selling his paintings. ByNovember 1890 Monet was prosperous enough to buy the house, the surrounding buildingsand the land for his gardens.

    During the 1890s Monet built a green-house and a second studio, a spacious

    building well lit with skylights. Begin-ning in the 1880s and 1890s, through theend of his life in 1926, Monet worked on"series" paintings, in which a subject wasdepicted in varying light and weather

    conditions. His first series exhibited assuch was of Haystacks, painted fromdifferent points of view and at differenttimes of the day.

    Fifteen of the paintings were exhibited at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in 1891. He later producedseveral series of paintings including: Rouen Cathedral, Poplars, the Parliament, Mornings onthe Seine, and the Water Lilies that were painted on his property at Giverny.

    Monet was exceptionally fond of painting controlled nature: hisown gardens in Giverny, with its water lilies, pond, and bridge. Healso painted up and down the banks of the Seine, producingpaintings such as Break-up of the ice on the Seine. The picture tothe righ shows his second wife, Alice Monet, in the garden ofGiverny.

    He wrote daily instructions to his gardening staff, precise designsand layouts for plantings, and invoices for his floral purchases andhis collection of botany books. As Monet's wealth grew, his gardenevolved. He remained its architect, even after he hired sevengardeners. He built a greenhouse and a second studio, a spacious

    building, well lit with skylights.

    Between 1883 and 1908, Monet travelled to the Mediterranean, where he painted landmarks,landscapes, and seascapes, such as Bordighera. He painted an important series of paintings inVenice, Italy, and in London he painted two important seriesviews of Parliament and viewsof Charing Cross Bridge.

    His second wife Alice died in 1911 and his oldest son Jean, who had married Alice' s daughter

    Blanche, Monet's particular favourite, died in 1914. After his wife died, Blanche looked afterand cared for him. It was during this time that Monet began to develop the first signs ofcataracts.

    During World War I, in which his younger son Michel served and his friend and admirerClemenceau led the French nation, Monet painted a series of Weeping Willow trees as homageto the French fallen soldiers. Cataracts formed on Monet's eyes, for which he underwent twooperations in 1923. The paintings done while the cataracts affected his vision have a generalreddish tone, which is characteristic of the vision of cataract victims. It may also be that after

    surgery he was able to see certain ultraviolet wavelengths of light that are normally excluded by the lens of the eye, this may have had an effect on the colours he perceived. After hisoperations he even repainted some of these paintings, with bluer water lilies than before theoperation.

    Monet died of lung cancer on 5 December 1926 at the age of 86 and is buried in the Givernychurch cemetery. Monet had insisted that the occasion be simple; thus about fifty peopleattended the ceremony.

    His famous home and garden with its water lily pond were bequeathed by his heirs to theFrench Academy of Fine Arts (part of the Institut de France) in 1966. Through the FondationClaude Monet, the home and gardens were opened for visit in 1980, following refurbishment. In

    addition to souvenirs of Monet and other objects of his life, the home contains his collection ofJapanese woodcut prints. The home is one of the two main attractions of Giverny, which hoststourists from all over the world.
