Monet exhibit at The de Young in San Francisco

[Twister411]

The Monet early year exhibit is now at The de Young museum.  Artwork is gathered from private collections at museums. The exhibit gives us a glimpse of his fascination for water lilies which he's famous for.

The exhibit gives you a glance over his fascination for water lilies came from. one thing we both agreed upon was that it is too view the paintings from a distance.  you can see the texture from the brushstrokes and layering of the paints. Next to each painting it shows a year which it was painted and where the painting was loan from.

Hi @Twister411,

That's wonderful! Did you like the exhibition? I saw a Monet exhibition as well in Vienna a few years back and it was quite interesting to me.

@DanniS yes it was fantastic. I finally got an annual pass to The de YoungYoun hoping I can go again when it's less crowded.  I also want to see the other rooms when I have more time.

@Twister411 fantastic! Do they have exhibitions of other painters as well or just more rooms from Monet's art? I also enjoy seeing the work of the famous painters and imagine what it was like for them painting these beautiful paintings. 

How much is it for a one time visit for the museum?

@DanniS we also saw the Gauguin exhibit. They have several more rooms of in the museum.  They have their own collection that I believe gets rotated.
