Uno de los grandes pintores, lo compre en Giverny despues de pasar una tarde en uno de los lugares más lindos que he visitado. Se respira Monet en ese jardín y uno parece ingresar en sus cuadros As someone who has always been drawn to Monet’s paintings but has absolutely no background in art history, I found this slim book to be both entertaining and informative. The text helps a novice like me notice artistic techniques while putting Monet’s work in historical context. Monet’s personal life is not explored in detail, but the reader gets a general outline of its vicissitudes. It’s a nice quality book but not too heavy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Impressionism's founding father Claude Monet (1840-1926), the most individual Impressionist painter, dedicated his long life to a pictorial exploration of the sensations which reality, and in particular landscape, offers the human eye. In his endeavor to capture the ever-changing face of reality, Monet went beyond Impressionism and thereby beyond the confines of self-contained panel painting: in Giverny he painted the Poplars, Grain Stacks and Rouen Cathedral series in which he addressed one motif in constantly new variations. Here, too, Monet laid out the famous garden with its water-lily pond which he was to paint on huge canvases well into the 1920s. He thereby sought to render not reality as objectively experienced, but rather that which takes place "between the motif and the artist." In their open, merely tenuously representational structure and impressive scale, Monet's water lily paintings--created long before the currents of the contemporary avant-garde--point the way to the developments of the future.
