Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, this exhibition brings together approximately 70 representative works by Claude Monet (1840-1926), one of the leading painters of the Impressionist movement. Monet, known for his extraordinary sensitivity to natural light and color, excelled in using soft colors and depicting warm light, leaving behind numerous works that convey the breath of nature. His "series," which focused on the same locations and themes, capturing momentary expressions, the movement of the wind, and the changing seasons through different weather, times, and seasons, is integral to understanding Monet's artistic legacy.
In this exhibition, Monet's synonymous motifs widely beloved in Japan, such as "Haystacks" and "Water Lilies," are featured in the "Series," commemorating the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition. The focus is on exploring the painter's lifelong dialogue with time and light. The exhibition also introduces pre-Impressionist works, including the monumental portrait "Luncheon," which played a crucial role in Monet's transition from the Salon (official exhibition) to becoming a leader of the Impressionist movement. Witness the entire world of Monet's grand artistic vision, where every displayed work is a masterpiece by Monet.
