Water Lilies

These late water lily pictures combine Impressionism with Expressionism in almost equal measure, and verge on abstract art, as the artist’s attempt to capture the constantly changing natural light and colour ends up dissolving all spatial cues. As he mingles water and sky, Monet creates a peaceful meditation within a flowering, watery surround. His focus on painting as a surface covered with paint, was taken up later after World War II, by practitioners of American Expressionism, notably Jackson Pollock (1912–56).
