What others don't tell you about Monet's water lilies

In 1897, Monet finished his first painting of waterlilies and never stopped until his death, in 1926. 250 paintings in total, including a series of monumental canvases that led to his Grandes Decorations at the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris these iconic works of art, have become a tired art historical cliche'. Here, Giovanni Aloi explains their historical context and true cultural importance.

I've always been fascinated with these flowers ever since i could remember, and yeah, i grew up planting several flowers on our backyard. that's why i like Monet's paintings that shows any plants, especially these lilies. You've done a great job with explaining them, hoping for more people to see this

*One must reach for the Higher Mind* and from there appreciate that: *"through the popular varieties of Monet's reproduced works/art, his Paintings/Art, literally have reached Millions, whom otherwise may never have seen the subject".* They have also inspired countless individuals towards their own Creative endeavors.
*(This "is" truly important)*
Only the Human Ego Mind, aka Lower Mind, struggles with the subject.
*Monet's paintings were and are about color and light, ... and his desire to make his own statement through his style, along with his "Impressionism Friends/Group".*
He is happy with the World's Interest, his energy is very much still vibrating through our Universe, World, and Countless Minds.
(also Important)
Think ease, Harmony, ... feel the Light, and taste the Colors.
😘

When I went to Monet’s garden I was so surprised how much the garden looked like his paintings. I thought he had exaggerated. Not so much.

[@Diamondraw4Real]

Monet would've loved stop motion or time lapse, "plant manipulation" "desire to manipulate"
