Hello class!

I decided to go to the Getty and look at all the fine art that was up there near Westwood and Santa Monica. Claude Monet was an amazing French painter that had many different paintings under his belt. He had one series in particular that stood out to me, which was the Rouen Cathedral. This subject that he painted was one of great interest to Monet. He painted this building in different settings and angles over 30 times! All incredibly done and in a way that was magically put together, almost like a mixture of abstract and impressionist.

The reason I decided to focus on this pairing that was in the Getty was due to the fact that this particular building was made into 30+ different paintings. This got me thinking about how doing something like that is similar to the way we make out prints when we want to have several editions. He in essence made a series of editions for the Rouen Cathedral. The color pallets for each of the different editions are each unique. The piece I was able to see in the flesh was a grey blue, yellow, and while color pallet mainly.
