Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies
When: Wed., Nov. 7, 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. 2018
Claude Monet's Water Lilies offer images of great beauty and tranquility. These canvases were created at a time of great sorrow and anxiety as Monet struggled with old age, ill health and self-doubt, and as France plunged into the horrors of WWII. This illustrated lecture, by Ross King, will tell the full story, personal and historical, behind the painting of these icons of 20th Century art. This event is in collaboration with the Telfair Academy Guild.
