Description

Oscar-Claude Monet's intimate relationship with the Normandy coast is revealed in this focused study. In the mid-1880s, Monet traveled to Étretat twice for extended painting sojourns, creating over eighty works that surpass those of any other site away from his home. This book places Monet's Étretat works within the context of his artistic ambition and frustration at a key moment in his life and career. Monet's visits to Étretat coincided with the town's transformation from a quiet fishing village into a tourist destination. Chiyo Ishikawa explores this changing relationship between society and landscape in late nineteenth-century France, featuring works by Monet and his contemporaries Gustave Courbet, Camille Corot, and Eugène Boudin. The book offers a vivid account of Monet's experience in the region, supplemented by photographs and ephemeral material. A unique perspective on an understudied aspect of Monet's life and works, this study brings to light the artist's engagement with Étretat and its significance in his artistic progression.
