Cultural Cocktail Hour
Monet’s Water Lillies at L’Orangerie- Paris

At Monet’s opening at L’Orangerie
Art critic Louis Gillet
declared,
“An Astonishing painting,
without pattern,
without borders…

there is no sky
no horizon
hardly any
perspective
or stable points of reference
enabling the viewer to orient himself,
just completely arbitrary boundaries
between actual space and pictorial space.”
