サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Claude Monet’s beautifully lyrical and softly ephemeral #Nymphéas from 1908 – an iconic image of #Impressionism from his most celebrated subject – is at the same time radical and poetic. Acquired in 1932, it has remained unseen for over half a century and will be unveiled in our #London #galleries tomorrow, for a special #exhibition ahead of our #Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale next week. Monet’s meticulously designed water #garden in #Giverny verged on an all-consuming obsession, as the artist diverted the course of the nearby #river and waded out into the waters daily to preserve the pristine beauty of the #waterlilies. The result was a #kaleidoscope of #colour on his doorstep, forever changing with an unending variety of tones and forms. Here, in his first steps towards true #abstraction, #Monet strips away the banks of the pond, eliminates the #horizon line and transforms the #water into a mirror for the #sky. Visit until 3pm on 19 June to see the work alongside our immersive #installation of hand-made waterlilies, fresh #flowers and innovative LED lights, a modern vision of the artist’s beloved inspiration. #SothebysImpMod #ClaudeMonet」6月13日 19時56分
