I love all of the Impressionists and post-Impressionists. Monet is my fave, followed by Manet, Degas, Cezanne, and Gaugin (not sure I spelled the last one right). Monet's series of the Japanese bridge are my favorite.<br /><br />I spent a semester in France during my junior year of college, and went to visit the gardens in Giverny. Well worth the trip!Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387217950712644169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-16505197258192364542009-09-19T21:05:49.525-04:002009-09-19T21:05:49.525-04:00Yes, Mama, I remember.
