SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Mexican Prints
On view through January 5, Mexican Prints at the Vanguard explores the rich tradition of printmaking in Mexico—from the 18th century to the mid-20th century—through works drawn mainly from the Museum’s collection.

About the Artwork

The Manneporte near Etretat, 1886. Claude Monet. Oil on canvas. Bequest of Lillie P. Bliss, 1931.
In 1886, the writer Guy de Maupassant published his eyewitness account of Monet at Etretat. "The artist walked along the beach, followed by children carrying five or six canvases representing the same subject at different times of the day and with different effects. He took them up and put them aside by turns according to changes in the sky and shadows." Monet painted the dramatically arched projection in the cliff at Etretat six times from this angle: twice during each of three visits to the Normandy coast in 1883, 1885, and 1886. He refined the pictures in his studio.
