13. His Garden at Giverny. Painted in 1900.
Signed.
The brilliance of the flowers in the garden gave the artist a great opportunity to use the full range of pure color.
Lent by the Art Institute of Chicago.

14. Grand Canal, Venice. Painted in 1908.
Signed and dated, lower-right.
This is one of a famous series in varying lights done by Monet in Venice, which shows the ultimate development of the use of pure, brilliant color in carefully integrated design.
Lent by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

15. La Seine á Lavacour. Painted in 1880.
Signed and dated, lower-left.
This painting by Monet, presented by the Munger Fund Trustees to the Dallas Art Association on Sunday, November 14, 1937, is one of the most important paintings by the artist of this period. It is unusual in composition, with the interest centering on the clump of willows in the river, and the diamond shape formed by these being surrounded by distances. It, like the others, emphasizes the interest of the Impressionists in the effects of atmosphere, the play of light upon water, trees, and houses, and the feeling of a particular moment out-of-doors.
Owned by the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts (Munger Fund.)

17. Portrait of Mme. Boursier and Her Daughter.
Signed, lower-left.
A strong influence of Degas is noticeable in the portrait; in subject matter, in the frank use of brown, grey and even black, and in the sketchy but effective suggestion of background objects.
Lent by the Brooklyn Museum.

18. Environs du Treport. Painted in 1880.

Somewhat soberer in color than most Impressionists paintings, this scene still shows the preoccupation of the group with the problems of atmosphere.
