Another enormously enriching 20 minutes from Xavier and the Frick! I've been very fortunate to have visited Giverny, Vertheuil, Rouen and a number of the museums that feature Monet's masterworks. Yet, there is always more to the human story of art and the artist -- so beautifully expressed in this latest "Cocktails with a Curator" episode. My Frick donation is on its way!
Thank you for another wonderful talk and insight into this part of Monet’s life and for the analogy of that period with where we are today. So important to have hope!
Thank you very much for an interesting & informative lecture. I've visited Giverny many times & each time again awed by the spectacular gardens, etc. One of my very favorite museums is the Frick & I'll be happy to once again visit when it's reopened.
Just by chance, a fortunate one to be said, I was privileged to be in on cocktails with Mr. Salomon and how enjoyable drinks were, indeed! Thank you for this posting as I have subscribed and am looking forward to future toasts and illuminating lectures. What an insightful reminder that others have had their winter’s of trials and tribulations and with perseverance, we too should take heart and keep moving ever forward with hope and a dogged determination.
Dear Mr.Salamon althoug in Budapest now should bee spingtime the sky looks today a little bit like on Mones painting above the Viethles and Ginervies and Lavocaers chathedral.The winther lanscape and the river with liliens gives also a hope for future and for the dead souls everlasting remarks for the earth remaned human beeings. Thanks for you.Musik in the radio is also a trost for everything.
Thank you for your wonderful presentation! I had been in Vetheuil but not in the winter, a beautiful place. Love your extra information and encouragement to deal with the difficult time! Positive thoughts will go a long way! Always trying and overcome the obstacles, nicely put in the time we face at this moment! Love your knowledge of Art in depth! Greatly appreciated! 💕🤓👍
Monet was much ado about nothing. Impressionism was well daubed. Look at Joaquin Sorolla, a really great painter who was ignored by Janson, the tsar of art history. So many terrific painters from everywhere like Russia. Unfortunately, Impressionism caught on because of their simplistic depictions that was and is for uneducated people that don’t understand truly good painting. Luigi Loir was a much better painter than Monet or the insipid painter, Renoir . The Newlyn School, The Hague School, the Barbizon School, the Glasgow Boys, the Russian School, all so much better than the incapable silly Impressionists. The French Salon was correct in rejecting those superficial lousy works that were concocted quickly without depth.
While there is something of a cult about the Impressionists; it is a bit unfair to generalize about all the work of all these artists. I agree with you that there has been a woeful neglect of all the “schools” that you have mentioned, (particularly the Russians.) Whatever sells chocolate, I suppose?

Could you please let me know, thank you
At the 9.05 min. I have that painting, from chicago art institute 1891 signed by Monet Haystack setting sun, 261 ,is there any value in this painting?
Superb Presentation !
The letter alone provides proof of the scholarship & insight we are given by these talks. The "winter" of Monet's life is at 35!
What a joy to be with Curator Salomon and listen to his wonderful stories of art. He brightens our cold autumn days.
What a great talk! I loved how Xavier explained the context for the work and related it to our current challenges. Very moving. Thank you!
I didn't care for that. I just saw a video about how we might soon be entering a solar driven ice age.
I'm really enjoying these visits with the curator. They have wonderful images from many at the moment closed or inaccessible galleries. Thank you
Wow what a beautiful and poignant analogy to the season we are in and heading into.
Thanks so much for this series. It really is a pleasure.
Thank you curator Salomon

Wonderful! I had not appreciated that the few years Monet spent in Vetheuil proved to be such a pivotal point in his career.
Thank you for another wonderful talk and insight into this part of Monet’s life and for the analogy of that period with where we are today. So important to have hope!
I’m in tears. Thank you for the weekly homily. Cheers.
Love Monet.
Thank you for another wonderful episode and for readying me for a long winter's night. Salute!
Thank you again for an invaluable discussion. Elizabeth 🇨🇦
Once again a most informative and interesting video; what a lovely way to end the week! I always look forward to Fridays. Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful story and message of hope, and perseverance. You have brightened my spirit.
Thank you for your wonderful talks, comforting, sustaining, and satisfying, like mulled wine by the fire.

You have taught me not only about art but how to properly and more delicately imbibe! Bravo!
Cheers, and thank you.

This series is excellent. I hope you plan to continue even after the Frick reopens!
Makes my week complet!
Very enjoyable Tx again X
Wonderful
you are awesome thank you
thank you
The painting of Camille on her death bed was so moving. I have never seen this one before. Where is it now? Another great video about the Frick.
Musée d'Orsay
Great piece, thank you. Omigosh, Manet’s ‘the dead toreador’ was a fragment? I love it and have a copy.
Which Monet's did Frick return and where are they now?
Did Monsieur Frick acquire the Daubigny directly from Durand Rueil?
I have an Monet Haystack setting sun, 1891 signed, is there any value?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wooow
Let's stay out of the climate change argument (which divides us) and focus on art (which unites us)
You are wrong, sir. For me the temperature just got much, much warmer.
The woman in the Renoir is wearing fur. So I'd say it's unlikely to be a servant, even an upper one.
