"The gardens of Giverny were a palette prepared by Monet himself. One month it was bright yellow, saffron colored, orange, and nasturtium as all the Earth's gold shades offered themselves to his eyes. The following month, by a wave of the wand, all the blue shades rose from the ground."
-- Jacques des Gachons, writing in Le National, 19 December 1926
