Signature Visual Language

Great artists repeat themselves in useful ways.

Monet returns to the same handful of habits across five decades of work: broken, unmixed color laid side by side so the eye blends it; a flattened, cropped composition borrowed from photography and Japanese prints; and a preference for painting the same subject at different hours of the day, tracking how light itself becomes the true subject rather than the object beneath it.
