In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon takes viewers through Claude Monet’s journey as an artist, focusing on “Vétheuil in Winter,” one of only four Impressionist paintings at The Frick Collection. Monet created this work during a particularly difficult period in his life, which included his wife's passing and the bankruptcy of his biggest patron. For Xavier, this canvas signifies the importance of hope, as Monet persevered and went on to complete some of his greatest works in the wake of these challenges. The wintry landscape is paired with a complementary beverage of mulled wine.

Another enormously enriching 20 minutes from Xavier and the Frick! I've been very fortunate to have visited Giverny, Vertheuil, Rouen and a number of the museums that feature Monet's masterworks. Yet, there is always more to the human story of art and the artist -- so beautifully expressed in this latest "Cocktails with a Curator" episode. My Frick donation is on its way!

Thank you very much for an interesting & informative lecture. I've visited Giverny many times & each time again awed by the spectacular gardens, etc. One of my very favorite museums is the Frick & I'll be happy to once again visit when it's reopened.

Wonderful! I had not appreciated that the few years Monet spent in Vetheuil proved to be such a pivotal point in his career.

Just by chance, a fortunate one to be said, I was privileged to be in on cocktails with Mr. Salomon and how enjoyable drinks were, indeed! Thank you for this posting as I have subscribed and am looking forward to future toasts and illuminating lectures. What an insightful reminder that others have had their winter’s of trials and tribulations and with perseverance, we too should take heart and keep moving ever forward with hope and a dogged determination.

The woman in the Renoir is wearing fur. So I'd say it's unlikely to be a servant, even an upper one.

Monet was much ado about nothing. Impressionism was well daubed. Look at Joaquin Sorolla, a really great painter who was ignored by Janson, the tsar of art history. So many terrific painters from everywhere like Russia. Unfortunately, Impressionism caught on because of their simplistic depictions that was and is for uneducated people that don’t understand truly good painting. Luigi Loir was a much better painter than Monet or the insipid painter, Renoir . The Newlyn School, The Hague School, the Barbizon School, the Glasgow Boys, the Russian School, all so much better than the incapable silly Impressionists. The French Salon was correct in rejecting those superficial lousy works that were concocted quickly without depth.

While there is something of a cult about the Impressionists; it is a bit unfair to generalize about all the work of all these artists. I agree with you that there has been a woeful neglect of all the “schools” that you have mentioned, (particularly the Russians.) Whatever sells chocolate, I suppose?
