For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession to express emotions and to transmit light effects over nature was much more intense than his contemporaries. In his words: Skills come and go... Art is always the same: a transposition of Nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun... should as well paint with gold and precious stones.

(Excerpt from amazon.com)


The exhibition Claude Monet: The Spirit of Place, now being held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum from 4 May till 11 July 2016, features some of Monet’s most emblematic artworks including the famous water lilies of “Nymphéas.”
