Takahiko Iimura's dazzling lyricism, a journey from the River Seine, to the garden of water lilies, to Monet's pictorial space. As soon as the images began, my heart was shaken. I am transported, with great emotion, to the time of Claude Monet and to the garden at Giberny. I become Monet's eyes. Is it possible that nature has entered into the painting? Or is the painting in the nature? This image is the most beautiful and original approach to impressionist painting I have ever seen.
