Description

Claude Monet: A Turbulent Life The founder of Impressionism, Claude Monet, revolutionized painting and created some of the most iconic images in western art. Yet, behind his famous works lies a complex and lesser-known individual. This biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, reveals the turbulent private life of Monet and how it shaped his expressive and sensual painting. Monet's life was marked by turmoil, from his early struggles to pursue his artistic vision to his obsessive love affairs and devastating bereavements. His art responded to the world around him, reflecting the Dreyfus Affair, the First World War, and other cataclysms. This biography offers a fresh perspective on Monet's life, one that is both enthralling and deeply human. Through this biography, discover the true story of Monet, a man who risked everything to follow his artistic vision and created some of the most enduring works of art in history.
