Those of you who know me know that, in my world, there are few things worth getting up early for. One of them is Monet.
The Grand Palais is hosting an absolutely epic exhibit of Monet's work from 1840 to 1926 between now and January 24. The excellently curated exposition is great not only because it follows almost his entire career, but also because so much of his work plays with subtle variations of light. Thus Haystacks (Midday) is much more interesting when you can compare it with Haystacks at the End of Summer, Morning Effect. Since the former hangs in Australia while the other is in the Musée d'Orsay most of the time, this is a rare opportunity!
Now I just have to get over to l'Orangerie and the Musée Marmottan!
