This "Guy" is all about money and power. He has no interest in cultural heritage or art. I once heard it said that the unwritten law of the art world is not to strive for power, but to strive to control. Guy Wildenstein does not abide by these rules, he used his "power" to stop the Monet from being what it is - a genuine work. And now he looks like a fool.

Too right. The Wildenstein Institute has lost all credibility over this. They have really blown it!

I am just watching the BBC program Fake or Fortune, which is about a not recognised Monet painting. The Wildenstein family denied over 18 years the painting was genuine, but the program showed it is genuine. The evidence is overwhelming, and confirmed by all Monet art experts. Still The wildenstein denied it was genuine, without any research just because his father said it was not genuine 18 years ago. On another note, one painting Wildenstein catalogued as a Monet, has found out to be fake. I think its time they should be sacked as Monet experts. Its an outrageous scandal.

As a painter living and working in San Franciso

I am not always able to see the great New York

Exhibits. Charlie Rose brings them to me and I am deeply grateful and enriched. Please continue with the visual art exhibits and reviews they are vitally important to our nations cultural education and identity.

I absolutely loved it! I'm dropping everything to see the exhibit before it closes this Friday.

Dear Charlie Rose,

I look forward every evening to your show! What an enriching program you had about Monet! I called my friends to tell them about it and were suprised to find out that even those that are artist did not know about the Wildenstein Gallery. Now they do! Thank you, Terry V

I am usually in bed by 11PM, but stayed up until 12:30PM to watch the entire show about Monet and the Wildensteins. It was well worth being a little tired at work today. Fascinating. Made me wish I had pursued an art degree. I wish Wildenstein had a gallery in Los Angeles to show the exhibit. But thank you, Mr. Rose, for another insightful interview.

The interview was fabulous. Thank you for bringing quality and relevant subjects to television.

Watching Charlie Rose. Coming to NY (last visit was 12 yrs ago!) and so excited to see this exhibit (have been to Chicago Art Institute multiple times - the Impressionists)

BUT, the exhibit ends mid June!!!!

My trip will be 6/27-7/1. Will this exhibit be extended? I SO want to visit !

Very interesting, so much pleasure from such a simple conversation.

Also I like to think that Claude Monet is in many ways the essence of the French spirit, because the academics before - let´s say - 1860 always looked back at the classics as the main model and novelty to them meant finding new ways to access the classical.

And the romantics like Delacroix whose work was always full of the esoteric (and even Delacroix´s true father remains in secret, unnamed) and,by the way, clearly influenced by the Greek rebellion (like Byron and other artists of romantic influence where) never developed their own conception outside the realm of individual authors.

But with Monet and the impressionists I think outside causes ceased to hold the painting in serfdom. That is why Monet and many others started with landscapes - there was no longer the need to represent any classical themes, war scenes, religious mysteries, potraits, and so forth or romantic esoteric knowledge outside the art.

My 87 year old Mother is still vital and is an active visual artist who, like Mr. Rose, adores all things French-- especially the artists of France. Long ago she told me a story that I've never forgotten. Mother had visited her relatives in Europe many times -- even as a child-- and finally, in the 1960's, she was able to introduce my Father to the pleasures of France. A necessary stop was Giverny. Perhaps my Mother was seduced by the almost excessive beauty of the area because, as my parents were searching for Monet's preserved studio, they got a wee bit lost on a quiet roadway-- despite Mother's supposed familiarity with the town! Happily they soon saw an elderly gent approaching and so my Mother, summoning up her best French, asked the man where the Monet house was. Without hesitation the man turned and pointed, responding, "il vit là-bas..." ("he lives over there...").

Well that certainly sealed the deal: at that moment my Mother, suddenly feeling just one tiny degree of separation from Monet thanks to that happy slip of the Frenchman's tongue, has been endlessly devoted to Monsieur Monet. So obviously I had to tell her to catch this show and, well, she did-- and she later called me with her very short, very sweet review of it: she said, "I cried." Thanks Charlie!

This interview was a wonderful expose of the once tres secretive Wildenstein family and the fabulous artist Monet. It was one of Charlie's best interviews as he let his guests fully express their knowledge and passion for this artist. For anyone interested in art, art dealers and /or Impression, it is not to be missed

We so enjoyed, "A Conversation with Claude Monet" last night and wish to purchase a DVD as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for the breadth of your programming.

Please let me know when the Al Gore interview is available as well.

Thanks again for the Charlie Rose program.

"A Conversation with Claude Monet" was one of the most exciting programs ever presented by Charlie Rose and I loved every minute. No matter how many videos and books one collects on Monet, there is always more to learn, evidenced by this particular show. Since I cannot fly to New York to see the Wildenstein Monet Retrospective, I may call the gallery to inquire about buying a catalog of this exhibition.

Charlie Rose is one of the main reasons I support public television.

Thank you so much. When can I buy a video or DVD of this show?
