Monet built a pond in his home in Giverny, France, and designed a Japanese bridge and a water view garden. In 1914, his wife passed away, and Monet devoted all her energy to the creation of "Water Lily" and used painting as an emotional sustenance. In his later years, he suffered from cataracts and his vision gradually blurred, which made his painting style more abstract and colorful.

This set of works was presented to the country after World War I, Monet, in honor of France's victory, and he hopes that the audience can feel tranquility and peace in his water lily world. Monet regards "Water Lily" as the most important work in his life. He even built a special studio in the garden to observe the changes in light and shadow on the water surface 24/7.

Quantity: 8 pictures in total, on display in panoramic style; the canvas is 2 meters to 6 meters long, showing the changes in light and shadow on the water surface. The paintings are framelessly laid out to create an immersive experience and are known as the "Impressionist Sistine Chapel".

Founder of Impressionism: In 1874, his work "Impression, Soleil Levant" was ridiculed by critics as "Impressionism", and this title eventually became the name of the art genre. Light and shadow and color changes: Use quick strokes and small color blocks to superimpose them to capture the changes in natural light and shadow under different times, seasons and weather conditions. Series of paintings: He likes to repeatedly create the same theme, such as the Water Lily Series, the Cathedral of Rouen, and the Haystack Series to study the changes in light and atmosphere.

He moved to Giverny in 1883, where he built a famous garden, which became the source of inspiration for his later series "Water Lily".

"Father of Modern Art": He is considered an important bridge between Impressionism and Cubism, and has a profound influence on Picasso and Matisse. Geometric shape: He emphasized the structure of the body and believed that "nature can be expressed by cylinders, spheres and cones." His paintings gradually moved towards simplification and abstraction, becoming a pioneer of the Cubism. Thick color levels: He uses the method of stacking color blocks to shape the shape, rather than the traditional contrast of light and darkness.

His works were not recognized during his lifetime and were revered as the founder of modern art after his death.

The "happy painter" of Impressionism: He loves to depict life scenes under the sun, with bright colors and full of warmth and joy. Soft brushstrokes: He uses short and smooth brushstrokes to show the delicate texture of the characters' skin, especially good at drawing women and children. The use of light and shadow of colors: He often uses warm colors and is good at using light and shadow to express the volumetric sense of objects.

When he was young, he was a porcelain painter, and later worked hard to study in the Academy of Fine Arts. In his later years, he seriously affected his hands due to rheumatoid arthritis, but he still insisted on painting and even tied his brush to his hands to continue creating. He likes to portray women the most and is known as the "female painter".

Founder of Cubism: He and Georges Braque jointly founded Cubism, breaking objects into geometric shapes and showing multiple perspectives. Changeable style: His artistic career is divided into the Blue Period (melancholy, depression), the Rose Period (bright and warm), the Cubist Period (geometric deconstruction), the Surreal Period, etc. Experiment and innovation: He tried various art forms such as sculpture, pottery, and collage, and even in his 70s, he was constantly exploring new artistic languages.

He was gifted in childhood and was admitted to the Barcelona Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 14. He was considered a genius. He has a wild and unruly personality, and has countless lovers throughout his life, and every change in his artistic style is related to lovers. His creation of Guernica became a symbol of anti-war, revealing the cruelty of the Spanish Civil War.

Representative of Fauvism: His works are extremely bright in color, boldly use contrasting colors, and pursue strong visual impact. Simplified shape: He gradually gave up on details and expressed the theme with large blocks of color and smooth lines. "Paper-cutting Art" innovated in his later years: due to health problems, he used paper-cutting collages (Cut-outs) to create.

He studied law in his early years and was bedridden by illness at the age of 21. His mother bought him painting tools. Only then did he realize his love for painting and gave up his legal career. They are lifelong competitors with Picasso, but they appreciate each other, learn from each other and influence each other. After suffering from cancer in 1941, he was unable to move, but he still insisted on creating and was called the "master of paper cutting art."

Portrait of slender figures: The most prominent feature of his paintings is his slender neck, an oval face, and a highly personalized style. Elegance and mystery: The characters in his portraits often have empty eyes and a melancholy and mysterious temperament. Combining classical and modern: He was influenced by African sculpture and Renaissance portraits, combining traditional art with modern style.

In his early years, he was weak due to lung disease and was poor all his life and could barely support his life with his friends' support. He moved to Paris at the age of 27, met Picasso, the poet Jacques Lipschts and others, and became a legendary figure in the Bohemian art circle. In 1919, when his wife Jeanne Hébuterne became pregnant, he died of tuberculosis. The grieving Jeanne committed suicide two days later at the age of 22.
