The story

Monet didn't paint a masterpiece. He shot a pilot episode. Giverny, 1890. Two canvases to paint the haystack next door. Light keeps shifting. 2 becomes 5, then 25. His dealer hangs 15 in Paris. Sold out in days. He runs it back. Poplars. Cathedrals. Water Lilies. Many episodes, one pulling collectors back for the next. He didn't just get rich. He taught the market what to buy. Every art series since runs on his rules.
