Columbus Museum of Art announces the third in our series of exhibitions inspired by works in our collection: In Monet’s Garden: The Lure of Giverny. This autumn, immerse yourself in the legacy of Monet’s breathtaking gardens at Giverny. Come discover why famed Impressionist Claude Monet and generations of artists thereafter have been enchanted by the sun-dappled, tranquil beauty of Giverny. Featuring one dozen paintings by Monet, including one of his celebrated Water Lilies, this exhibition also highlights works by American Impressionists and contemporary American artists. Columbus and Paris are the sole venues for this stunning show.
President George W. Bush announced the recipients of the 2007 National Medal of Arts. Painter George Tooker was among the award winners. CMA owns several works by Tooker and will present the first retrospective of his works in 2009. Click here to read more about this celebrated artist.
