Spark Your Curiosity: Art in Focus Discussion You Won’t Want to Miss
Join us for a presentation on the later years of Claude Monet’s life. Claude Monet is often criticized for being overexposed, too easy, too obvious, or worse, a chocolate box artist.
His last works, the enormous water lily canvasses are among the most popular art works in the world. Yet there is nothing tame, traditionalist, or cozy about these last paintings. These are his most radical works of all. They turn the world upside down with their strange, disorientating and immersive vision. Monet’s water lilies have come to be viewed as simply an aesthetic interpretation of the garden that obsessed him. But they are so much more.
