Claude Monet Paints the World Alive

“I want to paint like a bird sings,” Claude Monet once stated. In this episode of Expert Voices, Simon Shaw describes Monet’s direct and unmediated response to his subject matter. In The Islands in Port-Villez, one can feel just that – Monet sitting on his boat on the seine, absorbing his surroundings. The Islands in Port-Villez is a highlight of the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale (28 October 2020, New York).
