The Channeling

A Series of Love Letters Between Claude Monet (1840–1926) and Marge Hugo (1927–2013)

The artist book was published on the occasion of Nicky Broekhuysen's exhibition ‘The Channeling’ at Davidson Gallery in New York. The artwork produced for the exhibition is based on the real-life story of Marge Hugo and the ten-year period in which she channelled the artist Claude Monet and other famous Impressionist painters through writing. The book is organized in two parts. The first reunites a selection of Hugo's texts and artwork while the second part documents Broekhuysen's paintings. The contrast and relation of scales allow the reader to comprehend the intricacies of the artist's work.
