His mastery of light and weather are second to none. @Bryan: Enjoy Paris! There are so many wonderful shows to see right now. In addition to Monet, I highly recommend "Jean-Leon Gerome" at the Orsay (which the Getty co-organized). Insider tip, the Monet queue is the smallest from 4 - 5pm and/or 9 - 10pm. Shhhh, don't tell ;-) @Kim: Deceptively accessible is an eloquent (and accurate) way to describe it!

I am heading to Paris for the weekend and also considered skipping the Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais for fear of the queues and turned off by the hype. I will certainly have to pay my respects to Monsieur Monet in light of your post. Thanks Rebecca for your blog!

I used to be a bit of a snob whenever a friend would profess his/her love for Monet. But, now the more I look at his work and really try to understand it, I see him and his genius on a deeper level. His winter pictures, in particular, astonish me. Monet used to annoy me because of his unbiquity. I used to be a bit of a snob whenever a friend would profess his/her love for Monet.

His work is was the beginning of art journey, and I think that may be common. I learned the fundamentals of Impressionism, saw his work, repeatedly and moved on. He felt boring and liking his work seemed amateurish and I walked right past them clicking off in my head 'another cathedral, Parliament again, there must be a water lily here somewhere.' For me, it was a combination of seeing both the Gerome show and the de Young Impressionism show this summer and delving into the art that existed the second half of the 18th century that stopped me in my tracks, the guy was genius.
