Painting The Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse

Tuesday, May 7 at 6pm! All seats $15 in advance or $18 day of the event! Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative and extensive exhibition from The Royal Academy of Arts, London. This dazzling film takes a magical journey from the gallery to the gardens, to Giverny and Seebüll and other glorious grounds favored by artists. Here we discover how early twentieth century artists designed and cultivated their own gardens to explore contemporary utopian ideas and motifs of color and form. Monet said, "Apart from painting and gardening, I’m no good at anything". For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, this is an ideal film!Art On ScreenPT1H33MNR2024-05-07
