died in 1891 Claude Monet and Alice Hoschedé did marry in 1892.
Blanche became immediately fond of Claude Monet. She was eleven when she discovered the art of painting. Eventually she spent long hours in Claude Monet’s atelier and also in Édouard Manet
’s. In 1882 Claude Monet rented a summer house in Pourville, and Blanche started to paint next to him. When Claude Monet created his series Haystacks (1890–1891) Blanche came completely under his influence. Blanche became Monet's assistant and pupil. She often carried Claude Monet’s easel, canvases on a wheel barrow, and then set up her own easel and painted nearby. She used the same canvas, the same palette, and the same colors and th same subject. Paul Durand-Ruel
purchased a Haystack by Blanche Hoschedé Monet, and it currently is displayed in Claude Monet’s house in Giverny. While in Italy
, Claude Monet
wrote a letter to Alice Hoschedé
, “Is Blanche still painting and am I going to find her in progress?” Her work was done en plein air
as she did not have an atelier. Claude Monet
in January 1888 while in Antibes
, encouraged Blanche to submit a work to the Salon.
The Hoschedé-Monet family shared a lot of time with the American Expatriates. Blanche also painted alongside John Leslie Breck (1860–1899), and Theodore Earl Butler
. She had a romance with John Leslie Breck which was stopped by Claude Monet. Consequently, John Leslie Breck left Giverny in 1892 after Theodore Earl Butler
’s marriage to Blanche’s sister, Suzanne Hoschedé
; a marriage approved by Claude Monet.
Finally, Blanche married Claude Monet’s eldest son, Jean Monet, in 1897. They lived in Rouen
and Beaumont-le-Roger until 1913. She painted landscapes such as meadows along the Risle’s river and Poplars and Pine
s. Upon her husband’s death in 1914, she moved back to Giverny
with Claude Monet. She went to Clemenceau
’s House in the southern part of France
in Saint- Vincent-du-Jar with Claude Monet for one week in October of 1921. She returned in 1927, 1928 and 1929 and did some paintings of the house, garden and the sea. She was called by the prime minister of France, Georges Clemenceau
, "The Blue Angel", as she spent her time taking care of Claude Monet until his last days.
Dr. Janine Burke
believes that Blanche may have assisted Monet in the painting of "Grand Decorations". Monet had trained and encouraged Blanche as an artist. In a chapter on Blanche and Monet in Source: Nature's Healing Role in Art and Writing, Burke comments, "Given the sheer scale of the surfaces to be covered in the Grand Decorations, it is logical to consider Monet had an assistant, and who better than Blanche?"
Most of her works were done in Giverny and around Rouen. She painted in Giverny
from 1883 to 1897 and then from 1926 to 1947. She eventually decided to have a solo show at Bernheim Jeune, in 1931. She adopted an almost pure form of impressionism
. She painted for her own pleasure. It is difficult to distinguish her work from Monet’s especially during her first period in Giverny. The palette
, brushes, paint and canvases came from Claude Monet. She then painted Claude Monet’s garden, and its surroundings. A street in Giverny
bears her name.
