He took classes of art from Eugene Budent, who taught him lessons of work on open air. Later he goes to Paris and enters the circle of Paris painters. Because he had no financial support he enters French army and after military service he continues painting with Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Gustave Caillebotte, Frederic Bazille who were experimenting and searching for a new style different from official canons of art.
Technique developed by Monet and other impressionists was unique and innovative. Monet realized that a painting which was made on the open air, has a unique freshness and liveliness, which is unable to be achieved when working in the workshop, where artist plans the painting beforehand. Monet advised artists to rebuild the impression of image perception substituting routine objects by some naive and lively images. According to Monet, it would create a powerful impulse of impressions that would reflect the current moment on the painting. Monet set a task to reflect every current moment, every instant of reality on his paintings. For that time it was a revolutionary concept, which put aside his works from realism of earlier painters. In order to achieve these results, painter needed new technique. Monet technique was characterized by use of short brush, bold dots, touches, zigzags, etc. Monet worked simultaneously over the whole space of painting, saying that "the first layer of paint has to cover the whole space and that it doesn't matter how crude would it be." (according to Impressionism: Reflections and Perceptions) "Boulevard des Capucines" is a brightest embodiment of Claude Monet painting technique. He painted "Boulevard des Capucines" in 1873, at that time it was already the center of cultural; life of Paris, the favorite place of artists and the place where painters exhibited their works. Loamier brothers made a fist cinema demonstration on Boulevard des Capucines in 1896 as well. So this Boulevard was an embodiment of current life, of fashion and of democratic aesthetic views on late nineteenth century France.
Monet used this affect in "Boulevard des Capucines" where washed-out figures of people look more like ants than like people. But in general the "Boulevard des Capucines" reflects dynamics and passing nature of current life.
Making a conclusion it's important to note and outline again the great work of artists of the nineteenth century, which contributed to the modern concept of art. Monet, Delacroix and lots of other artists of the nineteenth century had changed the concept of art, made it universal, popular and available for different people. Using different techniques and approaches from classical artist methods for painting realistic images of life to radically new experiments with colors and shapes they wanted to delivery a high message of world's beauty, its virtues and esthetic values that unite humanity.

S. government chose not only to ignore the great humanitarian tragedy but even refused to condemn the killing. The American inaction on the Rwandan genocide places a big question mark on any subsequent action of its government overseas for humanitarian reasons.

The Goals and Outcome of American Diplomacy It is also worthwhile to analyze the goals and outcome of American diplomacy during the war.
