MOMA and Monet…
The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) is located in New York, NY as many know. If you have not had a chance to experience it there is no better time than October!
MOMA presents an installation that will feature the full group of Claude Monet’s late paintings in the collection. These include a mural-sized triptyc
h (Reflections of Clouds on the Water-Lily Pond, c. 1920) and a single-panel painting of the water lilies in the Japanese-style pond that Monet cultivated on his property in Giverny, France (Water Lilies, c. 1920), as well as The Japanese Footbridge (c. 1920?22) and Agapanthus (1918?19), depicting the majestic plants in the pond’s vicinity.
These paintings have long held a special status with the Museum’s audiences and, much like the MoMA’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, they provide a modern oasis in the center of midtown Manhattan. These works will be complemented by a few loans of closely related paintings.
