Description
Claude Monet, the artist who captured light itself on canvas, is the subject of this comprehensive biography. Monet's commitment to absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object, is unparalleled among the Impressionists. His work, shaped by his interests in Japanese prints, his time in Algeria, and his relationships with other artists, revolutionized the way we perceive the natural world and its phenomena. The late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, represent the high point of Monet's explorations, with their approach towards almost total formlessness marking the origin of abstract art. This biography offers a detailed and insightful commentary, accompanied by numerous reproductions and archive photos, providing a full understanding of Monet's remarkable and profoundly influential career.
