Since the resort opened in May, thousands of eager customers have driven up a misty, winding mountain road for a headier kind of excitement-gambling in Malaysia's first legalized casino...
...does not explain the oddly abstract effect of such paintings. Nor does it account for the curious fact that Monet often painted from memory in a manner identical to his paintings from nature. The Houses of Parliament, London, with its diagonally surging, frayed green silhouette and glitter of thick silvery light, was produced at his house in France in 1905.
