“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” ~Claude Monet https://www.maclay.org/Page/4027 through the eyes of Masters
O ' Keeffe
“When you take a ower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment,”
Georgia O’Keeffe once said. “I want to give that world to someone else.”
Monet
Often considered the mother of Modernism, O’Keeffe transformed the still life painting into a radical event. Her close-up views of owers bordered on abstraction, and challenged viewers to slow down and enjoy the process of careful observation. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial- van-gogh-okeeffe-art-historys-famous--owers
Van Goghh
" I rises " held the record for the most expensive artwork 1987 when it sold for $53.9 million USD, which would be around $100 million in the current economy. The painting was among nearly 130 artworks Van Gogh completed during his stay... at Saint-Remy the year prior to his death. Each iris petal in the "Irises" painting is unique, featuring different shading, shape and size. Only one blossom, however, is a completely different color. "Irises" has been part of many art exhibitions throughout the world over the years, but only one of them, the 1889 Salon des Independents exhibition in Paris, occurred prior to Van Gogh's death. His brother Theo had submitted it. The painting has been bought and sold a dozen times, the last being a 1990 purchase by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, Calif., where the artwork remains to the present day. The museum refused to disclose the price it paid for Van Gogh's masterpiece, citing its customary non-disclosure policy. https://www.vincentvangogh.org/irises.jsp
