Claude Monet's Water Lilies

Dr. David Brenneman, director of collections and exhibitions and Frances B. Bunzl, family curator of European Art, explores the impact of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies on the history of modern art. The focus of Monet’s last 25 years, the Water Lilies represents his largest body of work from his famed garden in Giverny. Though now known as Impressionist masterpieces, this series is also cited as one of the first forays into Abstract Expressionism.
