Description

The Albertina is devoting a large monographic exhibition to Claude Monet's treatment of color, which has seen little examination to date, as well as to the painter's passionate fascination with the world of plants and water in the garden of his country home in Giverny. Three paintings from the museum's own holdings as well as important loan works from international museums and private collections illuminate Monet's development from realism to impressionism and onward to a mode of painting in which colors and light gradually separate from the subjects that reflect them, with the motif breaking free from mere observation of nature. Eventually, albeit only after Monet's death, these late works would pave the way for abstract expressionism in painting. On view from 21 September 2018 until 6 January 2019. This exhibition is realized with the generous support of the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris.--Albertina Museum website.
