Monet at the DIA
How I spent my Saturday:
Monet painting of dahlias in Argenteuil, above
This is a Renoir painting of Monet painting the picture directly above this one.
Monet's son and wife at home
A DIA Monet long titled 'Gladioli' that has now been retitled 'Rounded Flower Bed' after research on its provenance.

I love Monet’s works,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty. I find his work so soothing, tranquil. I wonder if his personality was like that as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful and I would love to see this even though I won’t. I miss going to an art museum
ReplyDeleteI may not know much about art, but I know I like Monet, especially after having visited Giverny.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures - these artists give much pleasure to the eye. I find some of the modern stuff most uninteresting and wouldn't give it house room even if I could afford it.
ReplyDeleteMeant to say many years ago I went to the Tate or the National, not sure now, and when we walked in, there was a huge painting hanging about us in the hallway. One half was red and the other half was white. Any housepainter could have done it. Who's conning whom I wonder.
DeleteOne of my art teachers told me about a painting of a red circle with a dot in the middle that won a first prize in a competition. Go figure.
