Six Functions of Art: 6... Refresh our vision and help us see the world in new ways.

Six Functions of Art:


Claude Monet (1840-1926)
Meules, effet de neige, le matin
Oil on canvas
1891

6. Refresh our vision and help us see the world in new ways.

Claude Monet was a painter of light. He gave us a momentary glimpse in time that can never exist again. For me… his artwork gave us a fresh way of seeing and thinking. This painting from his “Haystack” series exemplifies my comments by allowing us to visually see a light on an object captured in a moment of time.

I hope you have enjoyed this series... The Six Functions of Art!
