Ouvres...

You may think I'm becoming art-obsessed as only last month I posted re Cezanne; but now, is this Midsummer Monet Masterpiece Madness? IMHO no, not madness at all: this is what I call art.

This is the 1904 painting part of 'the classic' Water Lily series, "It is unsurprising that this piece by Monet sold at such a high price. It is an exceptional example of his water lily series which is one of the most iconic images of impressionism."

Another Monet sold in the last couple of days: Waterloo Bridge, Temps Couvert [Cloudy Day] is "one of a series of views of the bridge and river that Monet painted from his room at the Savoy Hotel around the start of the 20th Century." These two are now the 2nd and 3rd highest prices paid for a Monet. As usual pictures link to news articles.

Back to Madness...well, THIS I wouldn't pay anything for (Sorry Lucien, I just don't like it)

...thanks Gavin! :-)
