Claude Monet, Walking Near Argenteuil, 1873 “‘Worldly asceticism’ emphasizes an ‘inner-world’ which paradoxically has two sides: not only a moral severity and self-control but also the context for pursuing ‘personal visions’ as compensations for the demands of every day life under capitalism.” - Modernity and Modernism: French Painting in the Nineteenth Century p.130
