Curators Teresa Krasny and Karen Serres offer a rare glimpse into the father of Impressionism’s life and practice through his own words. From his formative years to fame at the end of his life, Claude Monet's letters reveal a candid glimpse into his passions, anxieties and frank opinions, illuminating the artist's working life and practice like never before. Illustrated with some of Monet's best-known works, contemporary photographs and reproductions of the letters themselves, Teresa and Karen share an intimate portrait of one of art history's most celebrated figures. Chaired by Julia Wheeler. There will be a book signing after this event.
