The Yokohama Museum of Art is proud topresent Monet's Legacy from Saturday, July 14 to Monday,
September 24, 2018.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) is heralded as amajor Impressionist painter. About a century ago, in his finalyears, Monet created the summation of his life’s work, hisWater Lilies series designed as “Grand Decorations” for theMusée de l’Orangerie. Monet’s extant paintings, createdthrough his close examination of the landscape, continue tofascinate people today.
Energetic brushstrokes, reverberating colors, agaze that grasped light's constant changes and single
moments of atmosphere, compositions that immerse theviewer in the landscape, and images that expand beyond thepicture plane... The multifaceted characteristics of Monet's

works have stood the test of time and are continued invarious forms by present-day artists.
This exhibition presents 25 paintings dating from Monet's earliest period to his final years,
alongside 65 works including not only paintings but also prints, photographs and video works by 26 artists
from later generations, to reveal the connections that link them across the years. We can look back on thispainter from our position today and see that he surpasses his historical moniker of Impressionist Master as
we discover yet new richness, new ongoing fascination in Monet's arts.
What is about Monet's work that makes it so compelling? We hope that this exhibition will
provide answers to the question and that visitors to the exhibition will discover the fascination and diversityof contemporary art that reflects Monet.
