Mo·net (mō-nā', mô-) French painter and founder of impressionism who captured on canvas his spontaneous reaction to landscapes and outdoor events. He created several series of paintings, such as Water Lilies (1899-1925), that examine the effect of changing light and atmosphere on a subject.
mod. good-looking from a distance. (From the works of the painter, Monet.) : He's sort of monet. Okay from a distance, but up close: yuck. But that's just my impression.
