About this artwork

In Feb 1882, Claude Monet went to Normandy to paint, one of many such expeditions that he fabricated in the 1880s. This was also a retreat from personal and professional pressures. His married woman, Camille, had died three years earlier, and Monet had entered into a domestic system with Alice Hoschedé (whom he would marry in 1892, afterward her husband's death). France was in the midst of a lengthy economic recession that affected Monet'due south sales. In addition, the creative person was unenthusiastic near the upcoming seventh Impressionist exhibition—divisions within the group had become pronounced by this fourth dimension—and he delegated the responsibility for his contribution to his dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel.Disappointed in the surface area around the harbor city of Dieppe, which he found also urban, Monet settled in Pourville and remained in this fishing village until mid-Apr. He became increasingly enamored of his environment, writing to Hoschedé and her children: "How cute the countryside is condign, and what joy it would be for me to show you lot all its delightful nooks and crannies!" He was able to do so in June, when they joined him in Pourville.The 2 young women strolling in Cliff Walk at Pourville are probably Marthe and Blanche, the eldest Hoschedé daughters. In this work, Monet addressed the problem of inserting figures into a landscape without disrupting the unity of its painterly surface. He integrated these elements with one some other through texture and color. The grass—composed of brusk, brisk, curved brushstrokes—appears to quiver in the breeze, and subtly modified versions of the same strokes and hues suggest the women's wind-whipped dresses and shawls and the undulation of the sea. X-radiographs prove that Monet reduced the rocky outcropping at the far right to balance the proportions of bounding main and sky.
