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.”
