SHADES OF MONET: Inspired by Musée de L'Orangerie Love affair of a lifetime
This collection is part of a fifty piece total composition. The artist, Eric Ernst Albert and his Australian partner, Andrew John Frost (from Melbourne), would travel frequently in the 1990's. The passionate relationship would often involve repeat visits to Expressionist Artist Claude Monet's Musee de L'Orangerie. Contained inside were Monet's largest paintings: over six feet tall by over 298 feet long. This Museum has Monet's most colorful and contrasting works, involving recent brilliant pigments that became available in the latest stage of Monet's life(1840-1926), during the 43 years at his country estate Giverny, Normandy, France. Monet's eyes were forming cataracts; thus the use of contrast may have been meaningful. Claude Monet would not allow any one from the outside world to see these phenomenally immersive monumental pieces until the day of his death: that was his instruction for the timing of the opening of the museum to the public. Eric Ernst Albert and his partner Andrew John Frost, were connected on many levels, and were mutually inspired by these visits, to the extent that even decades later, Eric is compelled to reinterpret small sections of this monument in his own expressionistic art. As well as the transformative memories of his time with his partner, Andrew John Frost.
