Experience the shimmering light and changing atmosphere of Claude Monet (1840-1926), the French painter whose lifelong exploration of perception placed him at the heart of Impressionism. This pocket guide follows Monet from his early coastal scenes and views of modern Paris to his celebrated series of haystacks, cathedrals, water lilies, and gardens. Learn what to look for in his broken brushwork, luminous color, shifting reflections, and repeated studies of the same subject under different conditions. Fascinating biographical details, memorable anecdotes, a personal portrait, and selected quotations reveal the persistence and discipline behind his seemingly spontaneous art. A close examination of one acclaimed masterpiece offers insight into his revolutionary way of seeing. Featuring more than 65 full-color reproductions, this beautifully illustrated guide provides an inspiring introduction to an artist who transformed landscape painting and forever changed how viewers understand light, color, and time.
Claude Monet was a French painter and a founder of Impressionism. His commitment to painting changing effects of light, atmosphere, weather, and color transformed landscape painting and challenged established ideas about finish and representation. His celebrated series depicting subjects repeatedly under different conditions ultimately pushed painting toward an increasingly immersive and abstract visual experience.
