1883 Monet settled at Giverny where he created a magnificent garden. This garden was the inspiration for most of his later work and inspired the series Water Lilies and the Japanese Bridge (begun in 1899). As age and deteriorating eyesight descended upon the artist his works lost almost all sense of form and are now referred to as ‘Abstract Impressionism’. C?zanne once said that Monet was “only an eye, but my God, what an eye.” Monet died on December 5, nearly blind?he was known to have said that he “feared the dark more than death.”
