Claude Monet | Pommiers en Fleurs, 1878

The most consistently explorative of all the Impressionists, more than any artists of the period, Monet represents the movement and all it stood for.

A steady and persistent worker, independent of the necessity of waiting on 'inspiration', he found a prop for creativity in 'serialism', the creation of sets of work using the same motif; thus emphasising that a whole range of equally 'real' paintings could be made of the same subject, each varying according to the quality of light and weather conditions.

This is one of several views Monet painted of the cliffs and sand flats of Pourville, a small fishing village on the Normandy coast of France.

Claudia Cohen (Californian sculptor)

Claudia Cohen is an artist of ceramic and bronze sculptures with a studio in Sausalito, California.

Her recent paintings bring a similar narrative vision to another dimension. Claudia's works bring to life human nature in ways that deconstruct pre-conceived notions about humanity and stimulates the observers imagination.

Described as comic-surrealism, her style blends objective reality with mythology and flights of fancy.

Her use of uniquely colored patinas along with this magic-surreal vision are the reasons behind her immense popularity in the Bay Area art community and beyond.
