Artist’s Intent Note

Note

"Building upon the immediacy and spontaneity of his Impressionist predecessors, Montézin committed himself to revealing the ways in which humans, animals, and the natural world are endlessly intertwined. He demonstrated an adept ability to render the atmospheric effects of light, diversity of native foliage, and the quotidian routines of an agrarian world animated by the changing seasons" (Impressionist Legacies 40).
