Water Lilies By MonetRecently I Visited
"Water Lilies" by Monet
Recently I visited the ”Boston loves Impressionism" at the MFA (Boston) and was thrilled to see Claude Monet’s masterpiece “The Water Lilies” conveniently alluring the fans right in front of the entrance. As I lessened the distance I clearly observed why it is regarded so much in the art world. The painting Water Lilies by Claude Monet is painted with observable brush stroke depicting regular width. Some of them are thinner and have unusual directions of movement and length. In the painting special elements are represented with special types of strokes. The sky is being revealed on the water and is shown by bigger twisted brushstrokes. Trees are also reflected on the water and the strokes are straighter and longer. The water lilies seem to shoe off the most well defined brushstrokes with a bigger diversity. Large, circular brushstrokes delineate the several water flower shapes. Inside these outlines small but more circular and wide strokes fill up the bodies of lilies. The buds are created by much more tighter and smaller brushstrokes. The brushstrokes are particularly extensive in the reflected trees. If you keep on looking at all of the brush strokes in this painting it is visible that all of them are painted together to remain individual. Every stroke of the master painter’s brush is evident, separated from one another not blending together at all but in a very peculiar way they are all reliant on one another.
This painting has a blurry or fuzzy feature to the paint though I believe that it adds plenty to the excellence of the piece although many attribute this to Monet’s cataract problems but I believe that the painter took advantage of that even.
A viewer like me will see this alluring artwork as a whole. The painting seems very unnaturalistic what with the amalgamation of the colour and the intense cropping creating a lot of space so I had to remind myself that the subject matter I am actually looking at is water lilies and not
