Tate Modern Bankside London

Visit the third floor of Tate Modern and hear Coral Guest's comments of the large painting by Monet featured in the gallery. The audio guide for the painting holds an interview wherein CG describes the process Monet's work, beginning from a point of love that is symbolised by his use of the waterlily motif.
Painting is explained as an inspirational activity that continuously renews itself through the artist's delight, wherein the brushmark and the colour are merged as one. Painting is viewed as being fundamentally about the creative will and intent that is beyond the personality. For Monet, as with other unique artists, this originates in the heart and soul of the artist. This short interview went into Tate Modern in December 2004.
