Synopsis

Pour son vingtième anniversaire, la Fondation Beyeler expose 50 toiles exceptionnelles de Claude Monet, allant de 1880 jusqu'au début du XXe siècle et ses nymphéas. Tandis que la plupart des expositions se concentrent sur les débuts ou la fin de carrière de l'artiste, cette rétrospective retrace tout le développement et l'évolution de sa peinture entre ces deux périodes. Les toiles proviennent de la collection Beyeler ainsi que de prestigieuses institutions comme le Musée d'Orsay, le Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, le Pola Museum of Art de Hakone au Japon et l'Art Institute de Chicago.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Claude Monet (1840-1926) trained with the plein-air painter Eugene Boudin among others, continuing his studies from 1859 onward in Paris, where he met Pissarro, Bazille, Sisley and Renoir. At their first exhibition in Paris in 1874, Monet's painting Impression, soleil levant prompted critics to mockingly describe him as an impressionist.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The painter of light, newly discovered

"The world's appearance would be shaken if we succeeded in perceiving the spaces in between things as things." These words from the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty apply to the core of Claude Monet's art in the years between 1880 and the beginning of the twentieth century. While interest usually lies only on the early and late work of this exceptional artist, the catalogue, containing more than fifty works of art, traces the development between these two periods. Accompanied by texts by well-known art historians, the reader is invited to follow Monet's unusual treatment of reflections and shadows in his paintings. It allowed him to break loose from the modalities of representational logic and the pictorial object. And they made room for an aesthetic that helped to do justice to perception itself and to enforce a painting's self-reflexive momentum.
