Creative pal of Clemenceau (5)

I believe the answer is:

monet

(Other definitions for monet that I've seen before include "Giverny painter" , "French impressionist (Waterlilies)" , "Met no impressionist painter" , "he painted Rouen Cathedral" , "Claude --, French impressionist painter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
