A white notebook placed under a lucky star Its name is a tribute to the painter Blanche Hoschedé-Monet. She was the stepdaughter of Claude Monet. She painted many genre scenes in the middle of nature but also the garden of Giverny. Let Blanche inspire and guide them in their creative practices. Inspired by Eugénie Lucienne Blanche Hoschedé, or Blanche Hoschedé Monet, born in the 10th arrondissement of Paris on November 12, 1865 and died in Nice on December 8, 19471, is a French painter and model. She became Claude Monet's assistant and pupil, painting in an impressionist style that was sometimes difficult to distinguish from that of the master. In 1897, she married Jean, one of the two sons of Claude Monet and Camille Doncieux. Blanche Hoschedé is Claude Monet's model for several paintings, because he began to paint her and her sister Suzanne very early on. Endowed herself with a talent for painting, she began to take an interest in this art in 1876 and frequented the studio of her father-in-law, whose easel she often carried. She then becomes its assistant and pupil, After the death of her husband in 1914, she returned to live with her stepfather, Claude Monet2. In 1921, she met Georges Clemenceau, where she painted with Claude Monet for a week, in Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard, where she returned several times during the 1920s. A photograph shows her surrounded by Clemenceau and of Claude Monet, the statesman appreciating her qualities of heart nicknamed her "The Blue Angel" The subjects that Blanche Hoschedé likes are scenes of nature, meadows by the river, or trees. Her style, impressionist, is sometimes difficult to distinguish from that of Claude Monet, in particular during all the time when she lived in Giverny, from 1883 to 1897, then from 1926 to 1947. She painted mainly for her pleasure, but nevertheless organized exhibitions of his works in 1927, 1931, 1942 or even in 1947 The Blanche notebook adapts to all graphic techniques: -charcoal -pencil -watercolor -pastel -etc
