About Blue Water Lilies by Claude Monet
Monet painted Blue Water Lilies between about 1916 and 1919, in the water garden he had built at Giverny some thirty years earlier. By then the garden had become his only subject. He had diverted a branch of the river Epte to feed the pond, planted it with lilies, and spent the last decades of his life painting little else.
There is no horizon in this canvas and no bank — only the surface of the water, the pads floating on it, and the sky and willows reflected back through it. Monet dissolves the distinction between what sits on the water and what is mirrored in it. The eye has nothing to anchor to, which is precisely the effect he wanted.
He was working with failing eyesight by this stage — cataracts, diagnosed in 1912 and not operated on until 1923 — and the brushwork of the late canvases is looser and more thickly loaded than anything earlier. The colour does the drawing.
Own a hand-painted Blue Water Lilies
It matters here because of how the picture is made. The water in Blue Water Lilies is not a colour — it is dozens of separate strokes of blue, violet, green and rose sitting in layers on top of each other, which your eye assembles into depth. A print flattens all of that into a single photographic surface. A hand-painted version rebuilds the layers, and the water regains the depth Monet was after.
