Description
"Takahiko Iimura's radiant lyricism takes us on a journey from the Seine to the water lily garden, into Monet's pictorial space. From the very first images, my heart is moved. With intense emotion, I am transported to Claude Monet's time, to the garden at Giverny. I become Monet's eyes. Has nature entered into painting? Or has painting merged with nature? This work offers the most beautiful and original approach to Impressionist painting I have ever seen."
— Jean-Pierre Surer, Art School Director and Art Critic
