Late Hours #5 Monet-Mitchell

GALLERIES ON LEVELS -1, 1 AND 2

Every 30 minutes starting at the “Short Tours” meeting points

Stroll through two exquisite gardens – those of Claude Monet in Giverny and Joan Mitchell in Vétheuil – led by an expert Cultural Guide. Learn how both painters both drew their inspiration from their natural surroundings, particularly their gardens. Identify the blooms cherished by these artists, including water lilies, agapanthus and sunflowers. 

UTO is the duo formed by Neysa May Barnett and Emile Larroche, a lo-fi pop love story, the fusion of Emile and Neysa. A fusion, too, of the supernatural beats of drum machines marking the passage of time and melodies from times past – baroque, hazy, mystical –, borne by elegant synthesisers, ethereal hints of piano and slow brass that ultimately engulf every piece. The voice of UTO is steeped in fretful melancholy, reminiscent in its way of Hope Sandoval and Björk. 

AUDITORIUM

This embodied artist reveals a deeply moving and personal world wholly in sync with his time. His first album, Say Yes, Say No, which he composed, produced, and mixed on his own, is a work of captivating radiance. His poetic expression finds life in a subtle fusion of post-punk, trap, indie rock and danceable beats.
