An evening of art appreciation

Visited the Cleveland Art Meuseum for a talk on Claude Monet's two Normandys. Monet is a famous french impressionist painter. The talk was an analysis of the circumstances (mental/social/financial/intellectual) under which Monet made his paintings of Normandy. Monet painted landscapes from Normandy between two visist he made to the place several years apart. The speaker compared some of these paintings to illustrate the artist's thought process etc.. It was an interesting way to look at art, sounded very scientific. The pictures were simply great! Did not get to see all of the Monet exhibits though. Have decided i'll read up more about impressionism.
