Capturing the light
By Marilyn Delk - DCCA News
As an enthusiastic fan of the paintings by Claude Monet, I am intrigued and inspired by his ability to capture the light. The Impressionist pioneer, obsessed by light, worked to capture changing light and its accompanying shadows from sunrise to sunset, experiencing the same landscape in myriad ways to eternalize a fleeting moment of time. Although I always assumed that the artist found the sights surrounding him as soothingly beautiful as I find his paintings, a recent article from the Art Institute of Chicago informs me that Monet found the light “simply terrifying.”
