In 1890, the year he turned 50, the leading Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840\u20131926) purchased an estate in the Norman hamlet of Giverny and made it his final home. A few years later, he created a \u201cwater garden\u201d featuring a pond with water lilies. The pond proved to be the artist\u2019s greatest source of inspiration, continuously occupying his mind from then on. The theme of the present exhibition is the art of Monet\u2019s later years, centering on his \u201cWater Lilies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monet faced many difficulties during these years, including the loss of family members, a serious vision impairment, and the tragedy of the First World War. But nothing could deter him from his \u201cGrandes D\u00e9corations,\u201d a scheme for covering the walls of a room with huge canvases depicting the surface of the water-lily pond. The exhibition focuses on the many large \u201cWater Lilies\u201d he created in pursuit of this project. Because Monet was averse to disclosing unfinished projects, he kept most of these works in his studio until the end of his life. The only person allowed to take away one of the large water-lily decorative panels was the Japanese industrialist and collector Matsukata K\u014djir\u014d (1866\u20131950). He eventually collected more than 30 pieces by Monet, including those he purchased directly from the artist when visiting Giverny in 1921. They are today among the highlights of the collection of the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
