In addition to being review in ARTnews by Hilarie M. Sheets (excerpt above), the 1992 exhibition “Passage to India” was also short-listed by Vince Aletti in The Village Voice.

“One of the strongest images was the Taj Mahal (1992). The building, shot from a distance and mirrored in the long reflecting pool before it, is pale and ghostly, seeming to hover like a mirage against a moody burnt orange sky. Only after trying to make sense of the pictorial space does it become clear that Monet actually turned the picture upside down, further playing with the idea of negative and positive. He seems drawn to the dual nature of India, finding the spiritual and carnal at its roots”. (Hilarie M. Sheets)
