Mid-Morning Open Thread
Woman With A Parasol
Claude Monet
A lovely example of Impressionist art. But there is one thing that irks me. The wisps across the girl's face seem discordant. Why are they there? To give the impression of wind? To blend her face with the clouds? Maybe Monet was hammered one night and staggered over to his easel and swiped a few brush strokes across the canvas in a pique.
Whatever the reason, it distracts from an otherwise fine work..
Yeah, I'm a critic now.
