"His paintings are very complex, very layered,"
"This is the biggest museum exhibition of Monet's work in New York City in 25 years,"
"This beautiful, subtle, layered scent made by Joya Studios here in Brooklyn has notes of the marine air and water lilies,"
"When you look at that picture right there and you've been there, it's like remembering it through those child's eyes. I think that's extraordinary,"
An exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum reconstructs turn-of-the-century Venice through Claude Monet's 1908 Venetian paintings paired with a newly composed symphony and a custom fragrance. The installation layers visual canvases, film footage, layered soundscapes, and a marine-inspired scent evoking lagoon air and water lilies. The show traces Monet's Venetian travels and emphasizes his water-lily paintings and lifelong fascination with light and water. Multiple canvases are arranged in a circular gallery to amplify motifs and atmosphere. Visitor responses include feelings of enchantment and transported memories resembling a return to Europe. Curators present the exhibition as a major, historic New York showing of Monet's work.
