Events Description
The Impressionists were the first artists of modernity looking to escape the framework that captured the artwork and isolated it from others, making the painting a closed world to be well separated from its neighbors. But the framework convention was so strong that it was impossible. An unframed painting looked like it was unfinished, and for that reason was not an easy one to sell. Removing the frame was not just a whim on the part of the Impressionists. It was their very conception of the painting as a continuous space towards the horizon that called for openness beyond all external borders that the frame emphasized.
William Seitz, curator at MoMA and curator of the Monet exhibition, has made a strong gesture, he removed the frames from the paintings. The immersive exhibition Imagine Monet realizes this dream of leaving the frame and thus invites the viewer to enter the painting.
Impressionism opposes itself to Realism. Monet’s technique is revolutionary. Indeed, he uses much brighter colors without placing them directly on the canvas but by making small touches of paint, which gives an illusion effect. You can’t see that in a museum because you need to be really close to the painting, Imagine Monet allows you to see the artwork up close, like never before.
Monet’s pieces are exhibited around the globe, from the Musée Marmottan in Paris to the Art Institute of Chicago. Some artworks even entered private collections, never seen by the public. Imagine Monet reunites famous series and masterpieces together for a unique exhibition.
