Garden Artworks: In the Light of Claude Monet's and Sándor Ziffer's Oeuvre

Summary/Abstract: Two painters and the fate of two gardens – Monet and Ziffer’s oeuvre are embedded in their historical and geographic context, and independently of their social status, are unrepeatable. The love of nature, the inspirational power and the interaction with nature is their common feature. While Monet first experimented and created, physically as well, his inspirational environment at Giverny, Ziffer worked on the intellectual field: from his physically modest garden, he created an artistic environment on the canvas. While in Monet’s garden, the spectacle of the rich flower species contributes to the best impressionist painting, Ziffer’s garden puts the master’s imagination to the test. In both cases, in different ways, they subordinated their art to the landscape. Although the presentation of the two painters was rather different, there were common impulsive forces to create their works: the impulses generated by the force of the plein-air’s spirit and the desire to formulate the unvarnished emotion. In both cases, the end result is a rich oeuvre and two gardens. One of them is lucky, and the other one less fortunate.
