Morning On the Seine
With so much focus on the White House these days I thought it would be great to point out that Claude Monet's painting...well actually one of a series called Morning on the Seine in this case Good Weather which was painted in 1897 was a gift of the family of John Kennedy in his memory in 1963. This is only one of many amazing and historic art treasures found both on the wall's of the White House and in the posession of the White House...so if we truly are all part of America and if the White House really does belong to ALL the people then happily we all own a Monet painting - Aileen Bordman
Claude Monet who is the founder of the Impressionism is also the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the such movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature. As a matter of fact, the term Impressionism was derived from one of his paintings called the Impression, Sunrise.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely painting and I'd never seen that one before.
