Artists Series: Claude Monet
Opis
A pithy introduction to the life and work of Claude Monet, who paved the way for the evolution of modern art in his relentless pursuit to capture the play of light on canvas
Claude Monet (1840–1926) transformed the story of art in the 19th century. Breaking with the established taste and traditions of the academy, he instead chose to focus on perception and the fugitive effects of atmosphere and light, and on subjects of modern everyday life. His artistic path took him from the spontaneous record of impressions to his ambitious series on the monumental Waterlilies.
This introduction explores the memorable life and work of Monet. Following his journey from the beaches of Normandy and the banks of the River Thames in London to his iconic water garden in Giverny, it charts his stylistic development through his lifelong pursuit to capture the play of light, color, and time on canvas. This book is a reflection of an artist defined by his personal resilience and artistic daring, whose acute awareness of atmosphere and movement paved the way for the evolution of modern art and left a lasting impression that has endured into the 21st century.
