OST - 89x100 - 1905
Beginning in 1903, Monet embarked on a series of canvases
depicting his water garden at Giverny. Here, the pads of lilies scattered
across the painting suggest the water's surface, receding into space. The
pattern of light and dark beneath the lilies indicates the reflection on the
water-sky and the trees on a distant bank. Monet exhibited forty-eight of these
"landscapes of water" in 1909. Fascinated by the artist's subtle
fusion of reality and reflection, critics compared the paintings to poetry and
music.
