Label TextMonet often selected motifs that allowed him to capture mingled atmospheric effects, both natural and man-made. This is one of some twenty canvases he painted in his room at the Savoy Hotel in London, looking downstream along the Thames. In this apparitional canvas, factory smoke trails against an early morning sky are made opalescent by the London fog. The increasing abstraction of paintings Monet’s late work seems to anticipate the expressive, highly gestural canvases of later artists, such as Jackson Pollock.
