PORTLAND, ORE.- For a limited time—now through January 31—visitors to the Portland Art Museum will have a unique opportunity to view four major canvases by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840 – 1926). The four paintings are hung in close proximity in the Museum’s Impressionist galleries and offer insight into the artist’s practice over three decades. Claude Monet’s Waterlilies (1914-15) is arguably the centerpiece of the Museum’s permanent collection and one of the most popular for visitors and members. Thanks to a loan from a private collection, visitors will also see Monet’s companion painting, Nymphéas (1914-1917), an oil painting of the same group of waterlilies in his beloved pond and garden at his home in Giverny, France. The paintings are installed near the Museum’s two other Monet paintings, River at Lavacourt (1879) and Le Chateau d’Antibes (c. 1888), in the Jubitz Cen
