MONET'S GREEN REFLECTIONS
Since the dawn of time, man has been inspired by the beauty of art. The Macquarie Concise Dictionary describes art as “the production or expression of what is beautiful, appealing or of more than ordinary significance”. I interpret the word art to refer to the physical reproduction of the artists own perception of the world around them. A masterpiece is defined as “a consummate example of skill or excellence”. Therefore, when in search of a masterpiece of the artistic category, we must take into account the proficiency and dexterity displayed by the artist. With these basic principles in mind, it is my belief that one cannot surpass Monet’s series entitled “Waterlilies” and more specifically the painting “Green Reflections”. I have adored the “Waterlilies” series for a number of years. It was its originality that first appealed to me. “Green Reflections” is my favourite due mainly to the use of the green colour to indicate darkness of the water. The painting seems busy, yet not overpoweringly so. There is much for the eye, while allowing room for personal interpretation. Visually appealing, “Green Reflections” is a classic example of Monet’s personal style, being both scientific and painterly.
