Maybe I’m just being contrarian, but I don’t think the water or the beach are very good in this painting. The wheat, greenery, cliffs and clouds are great, but the water and beach are kind of monotonous blobs that frankly aren’t that great in this painting.
If you take anything away from this post, let it be that Claude Monet had no idea how to paint water and I dare anyone to prove me wrong! That should be a reasonable idea to defend.
Is it too much to ask to have at least one great actor give a grand Shakespearian speech and give it his all because his children loved the game?
Yes. Yes, that is entirely too much to ask and Raul Julia didn’t have to do that in 1994 either.
