We learned about the Group of Seven in class today, they were ok information. I didn't mind to study about them I guess. Since I am studying fine art in Canada, I should respect and learn their art history. However, Claude Monet did get motioned in class today. He was one of the most important artists to me.
I think he is one of the few artists who could make real life looks like a dream. I could not separate reality and dream when I sit in front of his huge water lily paint. Looking at his work is like drinking very fine wine all by yourself. I tried very hard to follow his brush strokes when I stand in front of his piece. It always made me dizzy,I got lost in there.
His art make time stops, I enjoy his work a lot and I wish one day I could make paintings that give same effect to viewers.
Therefore, Group of Seven is good, because I do enjoy impressionism.
Here are pictures that I took of Monet's painting in MOMA art museum in New York. I will try go see them every time when I in New York. So far I had only been there two times, but every time I will be in that room for more then half an hour.
