I love his giant waterlily paintings that are so big you're just swallowed by the blissful serenity. His use of colors, relflection off the water and lighting are stunning even if the details and perspective arent totally exact. He really celebrates the quiet, understated and peaceful garden scences and picnic scenes through art and color in a very special way. Again it's the theme of using the ordinary enviornment and activities of the day and finding and exalting the beauty in them. I dont know if I would rather be in a musuem surrounded by his garden and water lily paintings or be in the actual garden.

Monet carries the experimentation with color and light much further that artists did in other impressionist paintings we've looked at. Another thing that I like about is that it doesn't seem to have the problems with perspective that some of the other paintings we've looked at do. I don't know why, but the improper perspective in a lot of these paintings really throws me off. I definately can understand why some of the early critics of Impressionist art reacted the way they did.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822471654960563759noreply@blogger.com
