Classic Monet works will be accompanied by an extensive selection of Japanese prints and paintings that will demonstrate the multiple influences of Japanese art on the much-loved master Impressionist. Included are Monet's famous and renowned depictions of the waterlilies at his garden home in Giverny and haystacks throughout the seasons. Not only will you be among the first in Perth to view this magnificent exhibition, you will also be attending the most glittering and prestigious opening party of the year. The details for this dazzling event are yet to be released, but you can certainly expect to see the best collection of Monet paintings the Southern Hemisphere has seen.
Tickets are limited, so be on the lookout for details.
During the latter half of the nineteenth century, France witnessed a passion for all things Japanese as a result of the opening of the Japanese market to the West. Japanese prints, woodblocks and silk screens became more accessible to the public. Although Monet never travelled to Japan, he was an avid collector of Japanese art.
