Inner vision now stands for any human sight. In the last room, one stands before a three-paneled screen. The format still may recall a Japanese influence. Now, however, the unusual format signals a break with easel painting. One stands literally within the work, and horizontal symmetry has become almost complete.
Color fills every edge and corner indifferently.
Museum walls and nature's ground merge, while line and color no longer make sense apart from each other. Perhaps the screen is only one more pleasure among so many in the seventeen rooms, but it looks ahead as far as the idealism of Abstract Expressionism. One ought to stand or stroll close to it for a very long time. No one can assemble the perfect Monet show. Even to choose from among a series is to violate the scientific spirit of the work.
