Product Description
Perhaps the most "typical" and best-known Impressionist painter, Claude Monet (1840–1926) dedicated his long life to a pictorial exploration of the sensations that reality––in particular, landscapes––offers to the human eye. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.

By	Gary Sprandel (Frankfort, Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has well selected and well reproduced paintings included. The book is not afraid to include multiple paintings of the same subject, and I think the chapter "Concentration and Repetition: Working in Series" with replicates of the Poplars, Haystacks, and Rouen Cathedral may be one of the best. I also enjoyed the photographs of Monet in his studio and of the house and garden at Giverny. The writing on Monet's life and painting is short, sometimes to a fault, such as only referring to Monet's exile during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 in the Chronology.
