CELEBRITY TALK in association with Monet and the Impressionists
Marty Murphy, filmmaker, author and comedian
Giverny vice - what they didn't tell you in art history
Was painting on location a commitment to capturing light or just a convenient way of hitting the canvas while meeting other needs? Extremely new evidence of gambling, drug addiction and the odd roll in the haystack may prove that Claude Monet was not the only bad boy of Impressionism. Marty Murphy presents a compelling, if not thoroughly fatuous, argument. |  |
