0.0 x 0.0

“Flood in Giverny” by Alexandra Rozenman is a nice horizontal medium size 40 x 20 x 2 inch oil on canvas that tells us a surreal story about a famous Impressionist Claude Monet. It is a historical fact that from 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property and began a vast landscaping project included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life. In this painting Rozenman used real images of Monet’s interior and his paintings to create a surreal scene of a lily pond inside his house. Dusty wallpaper with a cherry design, yellow walls of the living room, striped blue couch and stream of deep blue water coming from under it towards beautiful floating lilies in every soft and bright color possible. This painting is about paintings. It is a made-up story of history, art, nature, house and water
