In 1923 Monet had eye surgery to remove cataracts. These cataracts had affected Monet's work, causing a reddish tone in many of his paintings. Claude Monet claimed that after his surgery he was able to see ultraviolet wavelengths normally filtered by the lens of the eye. Some believe this extraordinary vision was responsible for the striking presentation of color demonstrated in his later works! http://www.free-art-images.com/ Monet was a visionary in more ways than one!

]]> Comment on Incorporating Abstract Art into your Interior Decor by Michael Henderson http://blog.overstockart.com/incorporating-abstract-art-into-your-interior-decor/#comment-15401 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:51:43 +0000 http://blog.overstockart.com/incorporating-abstract-art-into-your-interior-decor/#comment-15401 This article is spot on. Abstract paintings are colorful, and powerful decorating focal points that don't tell a story. They are timeless. If you buy realistic art about a certain subject, such as sail boats, you may tire of looking at the sail boats. With abstract art, you never tire of it because you can always find something new in the picture. And for real punch, consider an original work, which can often be had at a very reasonable price.

He dropped when the biddind was about $76 Million... He wanted the famous Monet masterpiece, but not that much I guess...
