Exhibition on Screen: I, Claude Monet
From award-winning director Phil Grabsky comes this fresh new look at
arguably the world’s favourite artist – through his own words.
Using letters and other private writings I, Claude Monet reveals new insight into the man who not only painted the picture that
gave birth to impressionism but who was perhaps the most influential and
successful painter of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Despite this, and perhaps because of it, Monet’s life is a gripping tale
about a man who, behind his sun-dazzled canvases, suffered from
feelings of depression, loneliness, even suicide. Then, as his art
developed and his love of gardening led to the glories of his garden at
Giverney, his humour, insight and love of life is revealed.
Shot
on location in Paris, London, Normandy and Venice I, Claude Monet is a
cinematic immersion into some of the most loved and iconic scenes in
Western Art. Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Tickets: $15 Adult / $13 LT member / $5 Youth 18 and under
NOTE: Original show date of March 18 was cancelled.
