The Columbus Museum of Art launches its high-profile Monet exhibit on October 12 and runs through January 20, 2008.
The exhibit will focus on the French artist's longtime home and the subject of his famous water lily and Japanese footbridge paintings.
Showcasing ten Monet paintings, the exhibit will also feature approximately ten works by American Impressionists who visited and worked at Giverny.
Following a time between the two World Wars during which the gardens experienced virtual neglect, American artists such as Joan Mitchell and Ellsworth Kelly again visited Giverny and were influenced by the area's extraordinary sense of place and history. Artists continue to visit Monet's gardens, either through foundation grants and residency programs or individually. To complete this exhibition, twenty works by ten contemporary artists will demonstrate the enduring allure of these magnificent gardens.
A favorite of CMC audiences, Columbus Museum of Art Executive Director Nannette Maciejunes will discuss what the prestigious exhibit means to the museum and the way in which Claude Monet's gardens at Giverny have impacted and affected subsequent generations of artists.
