SUMMARY:Monet’s Masterpiece - Giverny
DESCRIPTION:“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece!”\n\nBy the mid
  1880’s\, when Claude Monet settled in Giverny\, he was known for his be
 autiful\, colorful paintings depicting light\, color and atmosphere - as w
 ell as being one of the founding members of the group that became known as
  the Impressionists. Giverny - a small town 50 miles outside of Paris - q
 uickly became both a retreat and an obsession during the 43 years he lived
  there\, his gardens occupying a great deal of his time. In his words\, he
  designed the gardens “both for the pleasure of the eye and for the purp
 ose of having subjects to paint” and they’ve maintained that effect un
 til this day!\n\nMonet had a bridge built over the pond 'in Japanese taste
 ' resulting in his first paintings of the water-garden in a series done in
  1899-1900\, and gave prominence to the bridge with water-lilies beneath a
 nd weeping willows. These pictures formed a quiet beginning to what was to
  become an increasingly exciting enterprise\, culminating in his gift to F
 rance post WWI -  the Grand Decorations now installed at the Museum de l'
 Orangerie in Paris.\n\nPlease join art educator\, Laura Nichols\, and expl
 ore the development - in design and in paint  - of Claude Monet’s maste
 rpiece\, Giverny.\n\n
