Claude Monet

In 2019, the Denver Art Museum hosted a major retrospective of Claude Monet's works. CBS Sunday Morning visited the exhibit and learned that Monet's impressionist style was inspired by...air pollution! He was also inspired by Japanese prints like those we saw created by Hokusai. You can visit his home in Giverny, France, walk through his flower garden, water garden, and inside his home (where you can see Japanese prints on the walls). Monet's works can be found in most major art museums in the US and Europe. The MFA, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Orsay Museum in Paris have some of the best collections of his paintings. As we learned last year in our MCAS practice test, his monumental work The Water Lilies (1927) on view in two galleries in the Orangerie Museum in Paris.
