Wamulu, a yellow flower, has traditionally been used during ritual ceremonies in the western desert of Australia. The wamulu flower is gathered, dried, cut up, and mixed with ochre and binders before being applied to the ground. This catalog for an exhibition at the Fondation Opale showcases an exceptional project that took place near Alice Springs between 2002 and 2005, where this collective of artists used paint made from the wamulu flower, which is most often associated with impermanence, to create contemporary and permanent works of art. At the same time, they honored the traditional Aboriginal process of communal performance, participation, and song that emphasizes the link between the present and the past. Includes an interview with the noted Aboriginal art expert Arnaud Serval, who facilitated the work of the collective.

With exhibitions around the world and extensive media attention, the centenary of Monet’s passing in 2026 will be celebrated with due fanfare; and this luxurious book is a fitting and timely accompaniment, covering all of Monet’s key works in a beautifully presented, large-format monograph.

Claude Monet, who remains one of the world’s best-known and beloved artists, spent 70 of his 86 years with paintbrush in hand, drawing strength from constant renewal from reinvention. He embodied the beginnings of Impressionism, then defined it. Few artists have enjoyed such longevity or demonstrated such inventiveness. Monet traces this career, drawing on a rich iconography that includes the ‘must haves’ as well as lesser-known and sometimes surprising works. Author Marianne Mathieu allows us to (re)discover the painter and the man in his simplicity and his daily routine. She immerses the reader in the light and the color that characterized and shaped Monet’s work.
