After Camille, Monet couldn't paint people. It was just snow, haystacks, the sea. Anything without a face. Mid 1880s, he wants to try again. Needs someone who is not Camille. That's Suzanne. His step daughter. He still isn't painting a person, more a shape. He couldn't handle what a face meant. So he blurred them out. Treated people like trees, hills, flowers. Suzanne wasn't Camille's replacement. She was how Monet learned to paint people again.
