Claude Monet’s Vétheuil in Winter (1878-79), painted during the
artist’s first winter in the village, depicts his new home on the
Seine, seen from the opposite bank of the river. Monet’s two and
a half years in Vétheuil, a small farming community northwest of
Paris, saw two severe winters, the inspiration for this
impressionist masterpiece, which is the subject of this ninth
volume in the Frick Diptych series. Susan Grace Galassi has written
an insightful and engaging essay about Monet’s difficult but
productive time in Vétheuil, which saw the death of his wife
Camille. The Frick's Monet painting, the only work by the artist in
the collection is the basis for other significant canvases made
during his stay in the village in both winter and summer. Galassi's
essay is accompanied by a text and intriguing new work—Colour
experiment no. 109—by the artist Olafur Eliasson, created in
response to the Monet painting. Eliasson’s work will be shown at
the Frick next to the painting that inspired it.
