Speaking of the birth of Monet's series of water lilies, it is also a story in the world art history. 1890, Monet's economic situation was relatively affluent, which enabled him to buy his rented house and big garden in giverny from 1883. With great courage and determination, he resolutely rebuilt the garden and joined a big pond. Since then, this garden has given Monet endless inspiration and has become the core theme of his creative career in the last 30 years. Monet once explained to a studio visitor, "I spent a lot of time getting to know my water lily." When I first planted it, it was just for fun, and I didn't intend to use it for painting. Landscape images often take more than one day to be unforgettable. I found an unexpected surprise in an instant-how wonderful my pond is-and then I started painting. From that moment on, I have almost no other painting themes. "

Helena Newman said that Monet's "Water Lily" series is one of the most iconic painting series in the development of modern art. Monet stopped painting from a clear perspective and began to pay attention to elements such as color, texture and environmental effects, forming a more abstract creative style in the process.
