Claude Monet painted without letting up
for over sixty years, building up a body of
work which incarnated Impressionnism in
its purest form and by the early twentieth
century had laid the foundations of modern
art. The exhibition at the Galeries Nationales
reviews his entire fertile career. It is
the most important exhibition on Claude
Monet for nearly thirty years, following on
from the major retrospective at the Galeries
Nationales in 1980. Much research has been
done on this artist in the intervening period,
shedding light on little-known aspects
of his work. Orgnised along thematic and
chronological lines, the exhibition covers Monet’s career from his beginnings
in the 1860s to his last paintings related to the Water Lily cycle in the
Musée de l’Orangerie.

For the esteemed clinical psychologist and
art historian Mary Mathews Gedo, „Monet
and His Muse“ represents a project twenty
years in the making. Artfully interweaving
biographical insight with psychoanalytic
criticism, Gedo takes us on an exploration
of Claude Monet’s conflicted relationships
with women, complete with exquisitely researched
material never before understood
about one of our most popular – and inimitable – artists. Beginning with Monet’s
childhood, Gedo delves into his relationships with a distant, unreliable
father and his beloved, doting mother – whose death when Monet was just
sixteen, the author establishes, inspired a lifetime preoccupation with the
sea, its lushly imagined flora, and the figurative landscapes Monet painted to
such acclaim.
