"For Monet, pastel was liberating. Before he mastered the rapid brush-strokes of his later oil technique it offered him through both line and colour a way of working rapidly for the effects he was after. Seeing this show, one can't help but wish that Monet had worked in this medium more often. He turned to it only sporadically and, in the case of his London drawings, only because his other materials had not yet arrived."
