The reproductions are clear and the colors are vibrant. For anyone who loves this artist, it is a great way to see some works that have never been shown otherwise. For those who need it for research it is a must own. Each painting is described and the previous owners listed.
All in all a beautiful 4 volume set that is mostly in color and large coffee table sized. Most of the major works such as his series of poplars, cathedrals and water lilies are reproduced in large size. The first volume is a complete biography filled with large size paintings, providing a better view of over 300 from the catalogue.
A wonderful way to see most of this incredible artist's paintings.
Wilderstein protrays Monet life for the most part as that of a debtor. However to his credit, he tempers the romantic "suffering artist" idealism with insight into Monet the creditor. By illustrating what a jackass the artist could also be, the author creates a deep and lively narrative.
Most of the personal insight into Monet come to us by way of coorespondance with Alice Hoeschede. Due to 'appearances' however she requested of Monet her letters be destroyed immediately and thus we're sadly left with a one-sided portrait of the man. While his artistic talents we're unparalled, it's his devotation to correspondance that allows Wildenstein to bring him back to life. Without giving away the ending, it's Monet's inability to write rather than paint that signals the end.
