Housed in the Orangerie, Monet's Water Lilies cycle was celebrated as the "Sistine Chapel of Impressionism"; Monet himself had described these paintings as "Great Decorations." Going back to the sources of this masterpiece, this catalog explores for the first time an essential dimension of Impressionism. From the end of the 1860s, the links between Impressionist painters and decoration were varied, fruitful, and central. Monet, but also Caillebotte, Cassatt, Cézanne, Degas, Manet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Félix and Marie Bracquemond created decorative works—from wall decorations to fans and plates. This book invites you to discover this unique, rich and fascinating aspect of Impressionism.
