“For decades, art historians have wondered what made Claude Monet and Edgar Degas evolve from landmark impressionist painters to what some consider to be shadows of their former selves. Now, a Stanford University ophthalmologist has used the Gaussian filter and other Photoshop wonders to replicate how the artists saw the world later in life.
Monet and Degas are both known as masters of the French impressionism movement, which is characterized by short brush strokes, pastel colors and indistinct outlines that the eye blends from a distance.
Both artists suffered from eye disease in their later years. Monet had cataracts while Degas, famous for his paintings and sculptures of ballet dancers, likely suffered from macular degeneration, Marmor said.”
