Claude Monet and Joan Mitchell Meet in Paris

A new exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton places the impressionist and the abstract expressionist in conversation.

For the juxtaposition between the two artists, Pagé zeroed in on Monet’s famousseries, created during the last ten years of his life. It was only then, Pagé believes, that Monet felt truly free. “He once wrote that in this period of his life he was able to set aside all the formal rules of painting and focus instead on capturing thebehind the landscapes he depicted,” she says.

The exhibition also explores, among other topics, how friendships with leading poets of their respective eras influenced Monet and Mitchell’s compositions, and how they dealt with reflections and transparencies. Pagé shrewdly removed the frames from all the Monet canvases, further allowing them to meld into their shared space, and giving them a contemporary feel that only enhances the dialogue with Mitchell.
