The Pola Museum of Art is pleased to present The New Vision: Monet and the Contemporary Gaze. Marking the museum’s 25th anniversary and the centenary of Claude Monet (1840-1926), the exhibition brings together nineteen works by the Impressionist master from the museum’s distinguished collection, the largest Monet collection in Asia, alongside works of eighteen contemporary artists. Through their diverse ways of seeing, the exhibition invites a renewed contemplation of vision itself, opening new horizons onto Monet’s enduring artistic vision.
