Claude Monet was undoubtedly the most important of all the
Impressionist painters and his water lily paintings represent the
culminating moment in his career. MonetOs famous garden at Giverny
provided the inspiration for the paintings. The exhibition will
bring to life the importance and beauty of this garden through a
range of archival photographs, as well as an early, rarely seen
film from 1915, showing Monet painting outdoors in his garden.
"MonetOs Water Lilies" will reunite the three panels of an
exceptionally impressive water lily triptych, created by Monet
between 1915 and 1926. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Saint
Louis Art Museum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art each own one
panel of the triptych and the exhibition will offer a rare
opportunity to bring the works together. This will be the first
time that this reunion has occurred for more than 30 years. With
the single exception of a triptych in the Museum of Modern Art,
this is the only triptych by Monet in the United States.
The exhibition will be on view in Kansas City April 9DAugust 7,
2011, before traveling to St. Louis. The exhibition will travel to
the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015.
