Another week, another tone. After the ugliness of the boxes in my article last week, here in praise of beauty and light: a major exhibition of the season, the largest retrospective to be devoted to the painter for 30 years Claude Monet .
In the real painting, a truly great artist, hard worker, who even lost for a moment, as he worked outside in full sun, or all the time. For over 60 years, Claude Monet painted tirelessly. His work, under the banner of realism in the 1860s, embodies the purest expression of Impressionism in the twentieth century and became one of the foundations of modern art. It's this whole journey rich and fertile that the exhibition demonstrates.
With almost two hundred paintings, she brings special loans from the Musée d'Orsay and national collections such as museums and private collections around the world, covering the entire career of the painter of light : forest landscapes and Normandy coast, winter landscapes and snow, of elegance to the garden ... to near-abstraction of "Water Lilies" on end of his life. Until January 24 at the Grand Palais in Paris.
