Looks like I know where Monet’s palette, currently on display in our Library as part of Monet’s Garden, is going in late-October: Istanbul! Set to open on October 9 at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum, “Giverny Bahçesi” or “The Garden in Giverny” will feature paintings from the last 30 years of Claude Monet’s life, painted at his bucolic home in Giverny. “The Garden in Giverny” is a joint effort between the Turkish museum and the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, who also loaned us the palette. I wish Sakıp Sabancı Museum great luck with this exhibit! If it is half as much fun as Monet’s Garden has been, they are in for a great few months! ~AR (via Monet’s garden in Giverny headed for İstanbul in SSM show)

This pop-art-meets-public-art ode to Claude Monet is really cool! It is meant to evoke the wisteria that was a frequent subject of his paintings. There isn’t any wisteria in Monet’s Garden currently, but there are some flowers that hint at this color palette! ~AR

Some of Edward Steichen’s delphinium varieties were featured early on in Monet’s Garden. Such a beautiful confluence of two incredibly talented artists. ~AR

Photographer and delphinium breeder, Edward Steichen.

Yes, in addition to his groundbreaking career as a visual artist and museum professional, Steichen was also a renowned horticulturist. While he lived in France, the French Horticultural Society awarded him its gold medal in 1913, and he served as president of the American Delphinium Society from 1935 to 1939. In the early 1930s, after leaving his position as chief of photography for the Condé Nast publications—including Vogue and Vanity Fair—and more than 10 years before beginning his career as Director of the Department of Photography at MoMA, he retired to his Connecticut farm to raise flowers…read more.

Professor Paul Hayes Tucker is the curator of Monet’s Garden and the world’s premier Monet scholar. He’s also an amazing person to talk to (I know, I got to spend several hours just listening to him talk about Monet while we were filming this video). Follow him and listen in as he shows a reporter from ArtInfo.com around our landmark exhibition. ~AR

I think it’s time to issue a challenge: Who can get us a picture of the original Monet’s Garden (you know, the one in France) using the ‘Impressionist Lens’ feature on our app? Let’s use the hashtag #NYBGiverny. And if you manage this cross-continental feat, tweet us, post to our Facebook wall, tag us in Instagram, or photo reply to this post! If we get more than one picture, we’ll throw together a post on our blog, and maybe if we get enough entries we’ll put together some kind of prize or something. I have no idea if this is going to work, but I’m sure hoping so! ~AR

I’ve been to Giverny once before and it was remarkable for many reasons: Seeing that famous green bridge in person and knowing that Monet himself spent so much time studying and painting it. The sheer amount of space filled with more flowers than your eye could take in. Nothing compares. But the NYBG did a tremendous job in creating a piece of that beauty and conveying some of that joy in their exhibit. It runs through October 21st. I strongly urge you to go more than once! Each season brings new flowers… (via A little slice of Giverny at the NYBG | thefieryredhead)

Meditations: Musings on Debussy and Monet

We have noticed this correlation, too, and are offering concerts throughout Monet’s Garden featuring Debussy and his contemporaries Faure and Roussel. The next one isn’t until October 7, but if you want to indulge in additional artistic synchronicity, you can visit our Monet to Mallarme Poetry Walk in the Perennial Garden.

thecatlady9:

It’s no big secret that art and music are often correlated—they possess a unifying motive to illustrate something (at least in the realm of 19th Century Impressionism) either through literal illustration or evoking an image through music.

With that said, I find the attachment of certain artists…

"To walk the gardens, read the words, take in the artist’s palette, and stand before two of Monet’s rarely seen paintings is to get a sense of the rush of creative spirit and intelligence that marked the interactions of the Mardistes, painters, poets, writers and musicians who gathered regularly at Mallarmé’s Paris apartment more than 120 years ago."

I saw the real Monet painting in NYC and one of my 6th grade students was re-creating the same painting on her Pizza Box as part of our After School Art lesson! Check out her Monet-inspired pizza inside!!

This is amazing! We can only hope to inspire this level of creativity in the Adventure Garden as part of Monet’s Garden! ~AR
