Shortly after settling in Giverny, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Claude Monet became fascinated with the effects of light on the countryside of France. Starting in 1890, he began his “series” paintings — haystacks, the Rouen Cathedral, and water lilies — that would eventually come to define his immense contribution to not only Impressionism, but also Abstraction and 20th century art. In this episode of 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Masterworks, immerse yourself in one of these monumental paintings, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Meules, 1890, offered as a highlight of Sotheby's 168开奖官方开෴奖网站查询:Impressionist and Modern Evening Sale in New York. The artist focuses solely on the grainstacks themselves in a meditation on color, form and light. In doing so, he elevates the humble grainstack to an emblem of Impressionism. One of only eight works from this series to remain in private hands, Meules remains an undisputed masterpiece of Monet’s oeuvre and one of art history’s most evocative images. (1♉4 May | New York)
