About

This exhibition is the first devoted to Monet's drawings and pastels. It offers a ground-breaking exploration of the role of draughtsmanship throughout the artist's long career, overturning the conventional notion that Monet painted his impressions of nature directly onto the canvas. New light is shed on Monet's working methods by presenting a significant body of his preparatory studies, finished drawings and pastels, alongside representative examples of his paintings. In demonstrating the relationship between his works on paper and in oil, Monet's hidden talent as a draftsman is revealed, a gift that he publicly disavowed.
