In a rare opportunity for the Museum's three curators (European, American, and Contemporary) to work together on an exhibition, In Monet's Garden examines the way in which Claude Monet's gardens at Giverny have impacted and affected subsequent generations of artists. With a core of ten Monet paintings, the exhibition will feature approximately ten works by American Impressionists who visited and worked at Giverny. Following a time between the two World Wars during which the gardens experienced virtual neglect, American artists such as Joan Mitchell and Ellsworth Kelly again visited Giverny and were influenced by the area's extraordinary sense of place and history. Artists continue to visit Monet's gardens, either through foundation grants and residency programs or individually. To complete this exhibition, twenty works by ten contemporary artists will demonstrate the enduring allure of these magnificent gardens.
