Label Text
Dots of color in varying degrees of intensity, combined with quick, shortened brushstrokes, mimic the effect of high noon over a weathered farmstead in France. Lilla Cabot Perry spent years in Giverny, outside Paris, where she became neighbors with the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Like her friend and colleague, Perry became convinced of the virtue of exploring the changing effects of light and shadow on the landscape around her.
