A small official book with the Musée de l'Orangerie in which Claude Monet's Water Lilies interact with poetry and literature
Claude Monet devoted the last years of his life to painting more than 250 canvases from his Water lily pond in Giverny. A few months after his death, and in accordance with his wish, eight monumental panels are permanently on display at the Musée de l'Orangerie. Echoing the Water Lilies, this book offers a walk in words and painting in the footsteps of the master. Excerpts from literary texts, correspondences, poems, quotations or articles published at the beginning of the 20th century accompany the unique and fascinating work of Claude Monet. A sensitive and poetic journey.
