Garden Painters: 21 Contemporary Artists

Product Information

In 1883, Monet had the chance to pursue his passion for gardening to the full when, with his companion Alice Hoschedé, her six children and his two sons from his first marriage, he rented Le Pressoir, a long pink house with green shutters and extensive grounds, in the village of Giverny about 50 miles from Paris. Although Monet made his garden with the express intention of providing motifs to paint, for the first 15 years that he lived there, with few exceptions, he did not paint the garden but put all his energies into creating it, digging, weeding and planting himself while the children did the watering. In 1890, he bought the property and, as he grew famous and wealthy, he spent a fortune on plants, eventually employing as many as eight gardeners.

Focusing on artists working between 1870 and 1930, the show shines a light on lesser-known painters such as Joaquín Sorolla and Max Liebermann, while also reminding us of the importance of plants and gardens to such figures as Emil Nolde, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Pierre Bonnard. Monet remains the central figure, however. While the garden came to be one of the most beloved subjects within the Impressionist circle, Claude Monet’s idyllic outdoor scenes have emerged as some of the most iconic and easily recognizable garden pictures of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Robinson and Jekyll presented different but complementary approaches to gardening. Jekyll was especially interested in colour theory in planting, as derived from a celebrated manual by Michel Eugène Chevreul (1786–1889), which set out a ‘colour wheel’ of primary and complementary colours. Robinson created a vogue for the naturalistic ‘wild garden’ in opposition to the formal carpet-bedding The garden was very important to him – a series of letters between him and his wife while she was away one summer finds them mostly discussing the progress of the garden including how the lettuce is doing and what Kandinsky has been planting.

They were redolent of a kind of independent-minded, anti-establishment domesticity, countrified as opposed to urban, and were an anti-heroic gesture against what was seen as the neo-Classical posturing of earlier generations of French artists.
