In the early morning of 19th-century Paris, in the fog on the banks of the Seine, Monet met Camille, who was clothed in light, and since then she has become the heroine of one of the few portraits in the 2,000 paintings that Monet made in his lifetime. As a master of painting who used light, shadow and color to the extreme, Monet is the representative and pinnacle of Impressionism. On the 18th, the "Meet Monet Immersive Light and Shadow Art Exhibition" was held at the Jing'an Museum in Shanghai. This exhibition takes 54 classic works of Monet such as "Sunrise Impression" and "Woman in the Garden" as the creative background, and joins hands with the international authoritative art team to render with digital multimedia technology, combined with the exquisite presentation of sound, light and shadow, to create an immersive light and shadow art space of nearly 1,000 square meters, leading the audience through a century-old painting world, exploring the secrets of Monet's life and creation, and immersing themselves in the artistic beauty of the fusion of light, color, shadow and sound of impressionism.
This exhibition presents 54 classic masterpieces of Monet from three different angles: sound, light and shadow, and uses digital multimedia technology to create the ultimate Monet space. From sunrise impressions to water lilies, from exquisite Parisian salons to garden ponds, from the first step on the road of art to the exquisite Parisian salons, from the fast-changing cities of the industrial age to board a southbound steam train, from stepping on exotic hot lands to observe natural wonders, to stepping into gardens and ponds..... Let the audience fully understand Monet's dream of light and shadow and memory journey in the nearly 30-minute colorful blockbuster, and immerse themselves in it to sigh at the genius skills and delicate mind.
Claude Monet, the father of French Impressionism. Beginning with witty caricatures for friends and family, Monet began his long life as he wrote witty and funny caricatures for his friends and family, and when he began painting outdoors, he tried to capture subtle nuances of the natural world in a variety of light and colors. He has always been faithful to depicting his own observation and perception of nature, which not only makes him a unique personal style, but also makes him the most consistent practitioner of "Impressionism".
Monet's popularity soared in the second half of the 20th century, catapulting him to become one of the world's most famous painters, providing a source of inspiration for a burgeoning group of artists. Today, 150 years have passed since the birth of the "Impressionists" represented by Monet (1874), and the new direction they opened up for art continues to influence and inspire the development of artists and their artistic styles in later generations.
The exhibition highlights Monet's lifelong classics, including "Woman in the Garden" and "Woman with a Parasol Facing to the Right" in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, "The Regatta of Saint-Adres" and "Frog Pond Island" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, "Sunrise Impression" at the Musée Monet in Paris, "Saint-Lazare Station" and "Bathers on Frog Pond Island" at the National Gallery of the United Kingdom, "Lunch on the Grass" at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and the "Haystack Series", which brings Monet's artistic style to the extreme"Rouen Chapel Collection", "London Houses of Parliament" series, and "Water Lilies" series. These works have been animated with brilliant visual effects, and the brushstrokes and colors are more vibrant.
In addition to presenting Monet's classic works, the exhibition also reorganizes Monet's life trajectory and creative process, and highlights his artistic style at various stages. Among them, the "Water Lily Hall" in the exhibition hall can lead the audience to fully immerse themselves in the water lily works created by Monet in various periods. In terms of exhibition design, the exhibition also set up a number of interactive check-in points for the audience, such as Bazier's studio, sunset lights, water lily scenes, turnable rudders, and Saint-Lazare station.
Entering the exhibition, you will be greeted by a clear chronology of Monet, which helps the audience understand Monet's life, and at the same time introduces some important works that appear in light and shadow, so that the audience can have a better viewing experience. Entering the light and shadow area, the audience will be immersed in a beautiful and shocking space. 54 of Monet's classic paintings, through the dynamic vision that seems to be at your fingertips, beautifully presented, so that the audience is immersed in the interweaving of color, music and light and shadow!
Sometimes it is the waves, sometimes it is Monet's handwriting, and the visual effects are slowly presented with a special soundtrack and sound effects, giving the audience an immersive sense of substitution. Nowadays, constantly updated visual technology is integrated into people's lives, and the uniqueness of the light and shadow exhibition is not only in the visual presentation, but also in the production of sound effects.
Based on the original works of "Impressionist" composers such as Debussy and Ravel, the "Meet Monet Immersive Light and Shadow Art Exhibition" combines orchestral music, electronic music and experimental atmosphere music, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the dreamy atmosphere of appreciating Monet's works, discover the visual beauty of Monet's works and feel the various emotions in Monet's artistic path through the amplified fusion experience of hearing and vision.
