Monet - The Early Years app for iPhone and iPad

Monet: The Early Years is the first exhibition ever devoted exclusively to the first phase in Claude Monet’s career during the formative years of 1858 to 1872. The young artist synthesized a variety of influences—from the paintings of the Barbizon school and his mentor, landscape painter Eugène Boudin, to the experimental canvases of Édouard Manet—to produce an art that was unmistakably his own. Featuring approximately 60 paintings, many striking and profoundly daring, Monet: The Early Years reveals the radical invention that marked the artist’s development. The show is intended as the first of two focused exhibitions on Monet; it will be followed by Monet: The Late Years in 2019.
