印象派の巨匠クロード・モネは、自然光の移ろいに魅せられ、その美しさをカンヴァスにとどめようと生涯をかけて探求しました。この展覧会では、ル・アーヴル、アルジャントゥイユ、ヴェトゥイユ、ジヴェルニーなど、モネの創作を語る上で重要な場所と時代から、その画業の発展を丹念にたどります。また、同時代の絵画や写真、浮世絵、アール・ヌーヴォーの工芸作品など様々なジャンルの視覚表現を交錯させることで、モネの創作活動に新たな光を当てます。これまでにないモネの展覧会を、どうぞお楽しみください。

The painter Claude Monet, who was a leading exponent of Impressionism, was fascinated by the transitory effects of natural light and devoted his life to capturing its beauty on canvas.
This exhibition meticulously traces the development of Monet’s artistic career by highlighting key places and periods that were important stages of his creative journey, including Le Havre, Argenteuil, Vétheuil, and Giverny. Moreover, by presenting examples from a wide variety of different genres of visual expression, including contemporary paintings, photographs, Japanese ukiyo-e prints and Art Nouveau craft works, the exhibition seeks to shed new light on Monet’s creative activities. We sincerely hope you will enjoy this unprecedented Monet exhibition.
