The uneasy dialogue between line and colour in Monet’s art can now be seen as part of a much wider phenomenon. Richard Kendall, Curator at Large at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, demonstrates that by exploring Monet’s periodic use of drawing and pastel in relation to the development of his painting, up to and including the last of the water lily pictures, we encounter one of the great debates that engaged the generation of Matisse and Picasso and later the American Abstract Expressionists.
