Claude Monet cultivated his gardens as a continual source of renewal and inspiration, choosing plantings as carefully as he chose the colours of his palette. Dr Debra N. Mancoff, Adjunct Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will explore Monet's dual identity as gardener and as painter and how these two roles intertwined in his pursuit of his artistic vision: a life-long reverie on the integral relationship of nature and art.
