Sketches: Palazzi Contarini, Monet, DYM - 4/2026

The DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, is exhibiting Monet's paintings from his sabbatical in Venice. After hitting an artistic block, Monet went to Venice to figure out his approach to the water lilies series of paintings. This exhibit attempts to regather the set of paintings from Venice for the first time since they were first exhibited.

While shopping for refreshing tropical fruits, we noticed a two-story mural of island scenery at the Marche Municipal in Papeete, Tahiti. The colors captured the surrounding foliage and the images reminded us of the fishermen and farmers that brought the produce to this market.
