Jason Monet was a prolific and popular expressionist artist with an artistic career that spanned over 50-years. Monet developed his own vigorous and bold style that attracted art lovers and collectors worldwide. They included Rolf Harris, Barbara Streisand, Elliott Gould, Cleo Laine, John Dankworth and Frankie Howerd, while famous sitters included Noel Coward, Michael Caine, Jack Palance and the pop group Pink Floyd.
“When I first met Jason in London, England in 1960, I was taken by his bear size, wall to wall smile and genuine love of people. And when saw his work it just radiated my first impression - he has never wavered from his values and drive for artistic honesty. His friendship and the works have are an everlasting joy to me and my family. The world is a better place and more beautiful place with Jason in it.” - Private Collector, Toronto
