(1840-1926) A founding member of the Impressionists, Claude Monet was a genius at capturing a fleeting moment in a scene that might otherwise go unnoticed. Monet’s wonderfully kept gardens at his home in Giverny, France were his inspiration and a frequent subject.
(1853-1890) Intensifying the Impressionist use of light and color, van Gogh’s deeply expressive style inspired the Expressionist and Fauvist art movements.
(1905-1970) Mark Rothko’s distinctive paintings portray frontal, luminous rectangles that seem to hover on the canvas surface. Seemingly simple, each work communicates a different mood with profound emotional effects.
(1904-1989) The supreme Surrealist, Salvadore Dali was as much as eccentric character as he was an artist. His eerie, dreamlike images are even more disarming because of their photographic quality.
