Gardening

For this first publication dedicated to the garden of the Musée des impressionnismes in Giverny, the Museum has given carte blanche to Terri Weifenbach to document it for close to a year. The American photographer was inspired by the Impressioni-sts who stayed nearby a century and a half ago. Under her lens, the colours of nature are evoked by strokes, like those of a paintbrush, and become visual sensations. A text by Cyrille Sciama, director of the Museum, accompanies this journey.She manages to restore the different seasons and the power of the colours that make the place famous, and invites us to a stroll that is both pictorial and contemplative over the pages.
