Monet and Chicago Exhibition Poster: The Water Lily Pond, 1919

The official poster for the Monet and Chicago exhibition featuring The Water-Lily Pond, 1919.

When Monet’s paintings first appeared alongside his contemporaries’ in a Chicago gallery in 1888, he was singled out for praise by the press. And when his works were shown in the city again as part of the last Inter-State Industrial Exposition in Chicago (also known as the “American Salon”) in 1890, they not only captured the eye of local collectors—they ignited a collective passion. 

Poster Size:  24 in. x 28 in.
