Water Lilies, Claude Monet Throw Pillow

“One instant, one aspect of nature contains it all,” said Claude Monet, referring to his late masterpieces, the water landscapes that he produced at his home in Giverny between 1897 and his death in 1926. In this spatially ambiguous canvas, the artist looked down, focusing solely on the surface of the pond, with its cluster of vegetation floating amid the reflection of sky and trees. Monet thus created the image of a horizontal surface on a vertical one. You don't have to be Monet to create the very best in unique or custom, handmade gifts for your home or for some special art gift ideas for a special women or man on your list.
