What a wonderful way to spotlight this exhibition! Enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful! Would've loved to see in person but this is the next best thing! Thanks for sharing.

[@skygaz3r]

I can stay at this exhibition the whole day, Monet’s eye for colour, those master strokes..

[@Whoiskevinjones]

I applaud the curators for their sensitive selection of wall colors.

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

I also enjoyed the wall colors. Well done

Seeing Monet at the Musee de L'Orangerie ...Amazing! Will have to visit this exhibit...

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Ah, his works there are amazing!

[@falldog9]

They are extraordinary. Thank you for this tour. So wonderful.

A wonderful virtual tour. Thank You!

Monet had such a way with color. I love ❤️ his use of cool 😎 colors.

[@emasolie4135]

Some of these were in storage when I was there. I probably will never make it back, who really knows, but I hope this is a permanent exhibit. Monet is the man. Btw, while visiting Monet's home a young man was weeding the garden and I asked for one of the weeds. It was an immature goldenrod. I still have it.

[@SweetAngelPinay06]

I went yesterday, and I really enjoyed seeing the exhibit. It’s a shame that it’s no longer available… I was hoping to have family come and see the exhibit as well…

[@artistsatnamsingh7336]

Beautiful, I need to come visit!

A well-done teaser for the Monet show! I need to do my first trip to the Art Institute since April of 2020...

[@SandraNelson063]

I have been lucky enough to see Canadian exhibits of Fantin-Latour, Degas, Renoir, The Queen's Art Exhibit ( some of the FINEST pieces in the world were sent from England to Canada). But I so wish that I had the opportunity to drool over Monet's works. Particularly from the latter part of his life. I love what I have seen of his gardens and the water features. I wish I could go to Chicago! Um....there's an Egyptian museum there as well, yes?

[@leonardgleicher]

Beautiful presentation!

[@salvatoretavormina5656]

Great exhibit, but the video would have been much better with a series of still shots (or slow moving video) where each painting being discussed fills all or most of the screen while the photographer slowly zooms in on some details. Instead, a lot of time is spent panning the exhibit while walking through the exhibit rooms, rapidly scanning lots of paintings that appear much too distant and small to be appreciated.

[@SweetAngelPinay06]

Can’t see the amazing details of each painting

[@Ziad3195]

Absolutely gorgeous video, but Bordighera is in Italy not "south of France".

[@0083theo]

Please, I’m in desperate need to know what painting is shown at 10:28 . Does anyone know ???

[@mard9802]

Look up 'Branch of the Seine Near Giverny' (1897). I think that might be helpful.

[@shannonmalayajones7649]

[@ravenswood118]

Are all works at the museum originals, or are some duplicates?

[@thewipergloveonyoutubewipe5069]

At the 17 minute mark, I have the haystack setting Sun ,the one on the left we're in the same frame also. There is an e on the documentation that now I assume meant exhibit.

[@patrickjcarangelo587]

[@hrh4961]

About twenty years ago the Art Institute had a huge exhibition of Monet paintings from many collections. It was so wonderful, especially since the AI didn't play a constant, brainless, irritating soundtrack.

[@somejailnursedontask4658]

I saw that show, show of a lifetime, I’ve seen it all after that.

[@user-gy2nh9fe3b]

"You don't think of still-lifes as being vertical." What a silly thing for Ms. Groom to say. Art history is awash in vertically oriented still-lifes. Still, if I lived near Chicago I would often visit this exhibition

I have a Monet, haystacks from 1891 # 281 still in frame, is this of any value?

What a silly question.

I really would like to know, I have the Chicago Art institute documentation to prove it too. Thank you ☺️

These blue walls are overwhelming the art.

[@Ziad3195]

White walls are the worst.

[@oldben1800]

if anything the frames do

[@CoolGrimalkin]

Thd commentary was excellent, but the slowness of the video and the barest glance at the paintings was a spoiler for me. I should imagine that this was made to encourage people to see the works at the exhibition, but it left me feeling unsatisfied. It would have been great if the curator had stopped for longer at fewer paintings - there is so much to Monet!

[@bartcharlow9807]

It would have been far better to have focused more closely on every one of the paintings, but I suppose then the attendance might have seemed unnecessary. The repeated commentary about the collectors and their relationship to the museum are superfluous. Chicago as the city of Monet? OK, that's quite a stretch. But his paintings, as always, speak for themselves.

[@jacquelenelangeman9372]

This is a disappointing video. You didn't show proper close ups of the paintings especially the waterlilies. Monet had people build the Japanese bridge and there were gardners that planted the waterlilies and maintained the pond. Read the book Monet's Garden. Monet is my favourite artist. This video doesn't do his paintings justice..

[@gillstraker1994]

Very disappointed. I will never be able to attend an exhibition like this. Absolutely no close ups. Selfish.

[@JE-western-rider]

Disappointed, yes. Yet we are very fortunate this video was made and uploaded for those of us that haven't had the opportunity to visit the exhibit.

[@laurencedankel4751]

Why can you “never” attend an exhibition like this? Are you disabled? Poverty-stricken?

[@andgo1400]

Not enough time spent on showing actual paintings. Too fast and furious.

[@0herzog]

Slow down.

[@decnijfkris3706]

I don't like the frames.

[@0083theo]

Do tell, I’d love to know what don’t you like them about

[@decnijfkris3706]

@@0083theo for a Monet it is too bombastic those golden baroquisc frames nonetheless it gives good on that petrol wall. It think of nuttree frames finer cherrytree frames in a half brown colour and then put the spotlights on it. Monet is classic and soft.

[@decnijfkris3706]

@@0083theo I don't say it is not beautiful. Colour appreciation differs much in the US. On such a wall I would do Picasso, Miro. Rubens, Van Dijck or Rembrandt but no Van Gogh, Lautrec , Renoir . What would work is to present Turners in it, just like it is. Impressionists and neo impressionists are pastel. So with Monet I would emphasize the shady lights. I guess the same disposition in the Louvre would create reactions like they put Monet in the obscure and gave him a baroque scarf. The exihibition starts off with the lilies no?

"You don't think of still-lifes as being vertical." What a silly thing for Ms. Groom to say. Art history is awash in vertically oriented still-lifes. Still, if I lived near Chicago I would often visit this exhibition

[@Ziad3195]

Still lifes are definitely mostly horizontal.

[@pnwtreehugger806]

@@Ziad3195 Arguably, but the Ms. Groom's narration doesn't bother to qualify her assertion with the term "mostly." "You don't think of still-lifes as being vertical" is absurd and factually incorrect. It implies that vertical still-lifes do not exist, or are so rare as to render the idea of a vertical still-life as an oddity, a curiosity. As I stated, there are many vertical still-lifes in the history of art. And anyone familiar with the history of still-life is well aware of this. So Ms. Groom's statement is indeed silly.

[@Ziad3195]

@@pnwtreehugger806 Still lifes are one of my favourite genres. Yes, you find many vertical still lifes just because the sheer amount of paintings painted mean that a lot of vertical ones were painted too. That being said, a lot, a lot more we're painted horizontally. Can you list 10 you enjoy that are painted? horizontally

[@pnwtreehugger806]

@@Ziad3195 wrote "Yes, you find (MANY VERTICAL STILL LIFES (Emphasis added.) just because the sheer amount of paintings painted mean that A LOT (Emphasis added.) of vertical ones were painted too." A fact NOT mentioned by Ms. Groom. I in no way dispute that the preponderance of still-life paintings are horizontally formatted. Are you implying that I have? Your own statement basically affirms my observation, unless you can point out somewhere else where Ms. Groom qualifies the statement I've quoted. If not, her assertion is ill-considered, superficial, and silly. I do wish I had seen the exhibition. I too love the genre.

[@Ziad3195]

@@pnwtreehugger806 It's a 20 minute video about Monet. Not the still life genre. Not every single detail will be explored in great length.
