Thank you, Lord, for today's visit to the Van Gogh, Monet, Degas exhibition at the Frick Art Museum.
The exhibition covers over 150 years of French art and includes 4 works by Claude Monet. I love the abstract quality of his Irises by a Pond, c. 1914-17 (of which this is just a small glimpse). As the placard described, "...the irises have been reduced to just a few splashes of purple and the leaves to green and yellow streaks..." I spent some time with this painting, gazing closely at the beautiful brushstrokes created by Monet over 100 years ago. Simply breathtaking!
