Reworked Monet or Paris impressionist (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impersonator

'impressionist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reworked monet or paris' is the wordplay.
'reworked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'monet'+'or'+'paris'='monetorparis'
'monetorparis' anagrammed gives 'IMPERSONATOR'.

(Other definitions for impersonator that I've seen before include "One's often acting" , "he takes off" , "Mimic" , "One pretending to be another" , "ape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
