Giverny's Colors

Inspired by the colors of Claude Monet's water garden in Giverny, France, 

artist Spencer Finch designed this installation. Using a pallet based on colors drawn

from his own photographs of the gardens, color samples taken at the site,

and the pigments used by Monet, Following Nature changes as the light source

changes with the weather, as well as the time of day. 

Creating a kaleidoscope for visitors 

to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the glass panels used for

Following Nature turn on the breezes created as people enter the 

Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion, picking up their colors

from the tinted film installed on the windows.
