monet.jpgThe Royal Academy in Piccadilly is holding a major new exhibition of one of the founders of French Impressionism Claude Monet. Called The Unknown Monet:Pastels and Drawings it runs until 10th June and looks at the drawings and pastels Monet used as preparation for his paintngs.

This exhibition has collected over 80 works from both public and private collections, many of which haven’t been shown in a gallery before, and feature caricatures as well as landscapes drawn and painted from the early period of Monet’s life and also later works such as the paintings he did of London and the River Thames between 1899 and 1901.

The Royal Academy is located on Piccadilly, about halfway between Green Park and Piccadilly Circus, and is open from 10am-6pm daily (10pm Fri). Tickets for the Unknown Monet exhibition are £10.

Monet was cool. He spent some time in London and painted many of the bridges over the Thames including the Hungerford Bridge, which I used to walk across late at night to get back to north London after part of the Underground closed.

He is able to capture a place with shapes rather than a ton of detail.
