MONET: PAINTINGS OF GIVERNY FROM THE MUSEE MARMOTTAN
June 27, 1998 through Aug. 30, 1998
This exhibition of masterpieces by French impressionist Claude Monet
(18401926) features paintings of his
Giverny gardens
from the Musée Marmottan in Paris. After 1900, Monet's artistic concerns
were dominated by the depiction of his own creation:
the magnificent flower
gardens and
water-lily pond
on his property in Giverny, a rural
village 38 miles northwest of Paris. Created between 1901 and 1926, the works
in the exhibition offer great insight into the final developments of
Monet¹s career and the garden that he regarded as the finest of his
artistic achievements.
