Titled 'Monet's Garden' 32 paintings of waterlilies and pond and water features were shown from his later years. My favourite was this painting of poplars and reflections which came from Scotland. Surprisingly Scotland, where my sister lives has great impressionist art because they were an economic powerhouse at the same period of the impressionists.
Reflection on water is one of my current challenges hence my great fascination with the skill that the old master accomplished this effect.
Aside from Monet, there was an exhibition of Marc Chagall, Russian Jewish artist who painted only naive pictures of his love and obsession with his wife. I didn't enjoy that exhibition much as Chagall's works are more or less variations of a theme. Surprisingly Taipei is a cultural hotspot for the arts....
