Susan Seubert’s photograph Monet's Garden at Giverny, France is included in the exhibition Monet’s Floating Worlds at Giverny: Portland’s Waterlilies Resurfaces on view now at the Portland Art Museum.
“The monumental canvas Waterlilies by Claude Monet is perhaps the most treasured painting in the Portland Art Museum’s collection. Now, after over 65 years, it will finally look much as the artist intended—without varnish. The detailed process of conservation resulted in new color harmonies and brightness. To celebrate the restoration of the painting and the campus transformation project, this beloved icon will be presented in its historical context…Visitors will experience a recreation of Monet’s collection with prints from the Museum’s Asian Art collection in a section called Monet’s Japanese Prints; followed by a section on the Impressionist and European response to Japanese artists, with works by Henri Rivière, Édouard Vuillard, Jules Chéret, and others. Lastly, the newly conserved painting will be presented alongside the story of the research and restoration project. Waterlilies will be joined by contemporary photographs of Giverny and Portland’s Japanese gardens by Susan Seubert and Stu Levy.”
