Art: Monet & Vuillard

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Perhaps I am influenced by all the jigsaw puzzles I do, but these reminded me of jigsaw puzzles. They were on opposite walls of the same room and I sat on a sofa in between and fantasized for an unnatural amount of time about being a Bohemian artist commissioned to paint a five-panel work of a section of a romantic city (Paris) for a wealthy client (like the second one). I understand a lot of people have soap operas/dramas going on in their heads like I do.

Monet - Jerusalem Artichoke Flowers

The Monet is a new one to me (and I've seen a lot of Monet over the years). I like the Vuillard too. Not sure I've ever come across him, at least not by name.

Yes, I was impressed by it too. And not the usual waterlilies, as you say. I bet you have seen a lot of Monet!!

I liked the paneled screen. Apparently the pieces were separated over the years and the National Gallery got them all and put them back as one. It was a lovely piece.
