A story about the French painter Claude Monet. Monet noticed that in nature colors, shapes, and shadows are not always the same but change constantly as the sun moves across the sky and shines more or less brightly. Monet tried to show the effects of sunlight in his paintings. He and other artists who did this became known as Impressionists. Seen from a Distance looks at some paintings by Monet and shows the methods he used to create beautiful impressions of nature's ever-changing colors. Contains biographical information about the artist at the end of story.
