Claude Monet

While visiting with Oleg at the MIA, I stumbled upon this.



Claude Monet's The Japanese Bridge c. 1923-1925. 

The color doesn't do it justice. I have been to the Louve and seen the Mona Lisa.  And, I have seen several Rembrant's in London.  But, I have never had the chance to see a Monet.

I was amazed at the brush strokes and the layering.  

He stated once that his water landscapes in general reveal the "instability of a universe transforming itself every moment before our eyes."

Indeed, nothing lasts forever.   Nothing stays the same for long.
