What happens when an artist who has spent a lifetime studying colour can no longer trust what he sees?
As Claude Monet developed cataracts, the garden he knew so well began to look different. Colours became harder to distinguish, details blurred, and he sometimes relied on the labels on his paint tubes to know which colour he was using.
Our article, “Claude Monet, Cataracts and the Paintings That Emerged from a Changing World”, explores this chapter of his life. Through paintings of the same much-loved garden, it reveals a story of creativity, frustration and adapting to a world that no longer looked familiar.
Whether you enjoy art, history or a thoughtful read with a cup of tea, we hope you’ll find something to interest you.
