A Personal Reflection on the "Imagine Monet" experience (2 min read)

Walking into the Monet Exhibition in Tacoma was like entering a new realm. There, surrounded by Monet's illustrious artwork, I found myself not just viewing his renowned paintings but feeling the profound impact Monet had on the art world, especially during the transformative era of photography.

The exhibit's intimate ambiance is a stark contrast to the equivalent Van Gogh experience that you may visited a couple of years ago in Seattle. Yet, this smaller, more personal venue brings you closer to Monet's world. It's an intimate experience where the vibrant strokes and hues resonate deeply, bridging the gap between viewer and artist.

 Despite its modest size, the Monet Exhibition in Tacoma is a delightful encounter for those yet to experience Monet's genius. It’s a sensory journey through his iconic garden scenes and water lilies, brought to life by a harmonious blend of classical music and artful projections.

This delicate interplay of sound and vision entices exploration and evokes a sense of proximity to Monet's nature-inspired scenes. If your appreciation for Monet’s art is still budding, this exhibition will surely nourish it, perhaps even inspiring future travels to the art capitals of the world.

Should you consider visiting this exhibit, I encourage you to immerse yourself in Monet's perspective—an artist who forever altered our engagement with the natural world.
