Art and critics in Since the beginning of arts, artworks are used to critique the power place/ political decisions. Here, we will see how Bansky, a street artist denounces the pollution in his canvas, and make sure that people and government will care about it. This artwork, made by Banksy, a street artist, in 2005 is entitled "Show me the Monet". It is a parody of the "Les nymphéas" by Claude Monet. The classic painting of Monet shows a little wooden bridge in an idyllic place. There is plenty of greenery everywhere: moss on the Bridge in the Middle, lily pads floating on the river/lagoon at the bottom, weeping willows in the background (top left and right-hand corner), and reeds on the left. We recognize well Monet's style thanks to the artistic movement called "Impressionism" he used. Banksy seems talented enough to reproduce it. The colors are pretty cold, but bright, and I think that you noticed it, but the main color is the green. But in Banksy's version, a signalization plot and two shopping karts are added at the bottom, in the lagoon. These two elements contrast with the rest of the painting, because they look more realistic, and their colors, especially the orange are different from the greenery.

respect the environment. Every day, trashes are thrown like that in water, or just in the streets, but it hurt the Earth and makes landscapes nasties. Maybe he choose to parody this artwork and not another because the landscape represented in is beautiful, but if there was pollution during Monet's period, the painting would look like this, and the beauty would disappear. Moreover, the shopping karts are painted with a realistic style, it highlights the fact that the problem is real. Finally, the title that Banksy chooses is "Show me the Monet". It refers to the original painting made by Monet. It can be interpreted in many ways. First, it could mean that, sometimes, people pollute the environment to produce money (ex: factories). Secondly, it could refer to the fact that this artwork will be sold for auction, even if Banksy doesn't want it. Furthermore, it has been sold for 9.8 million dollars. TH message In conclusion, we can say that Banksy wants to convey an ecological with this parody of "Les Nymphéas", the art is at the service of the planet, and make a critic of the society. Even if this is one of the rare canvas of the street artist, it makes it more precious, for the better, and worth. Sources: Moi - Images: repro-tableaux --- larousse.fr
