Reviews
This is a tremendous, large book -- about 12 inches by 15. A thoughtful introduction places Monet within the context of the artistic world, followed by 47 two-page spreads in chronological order -- on the right hand side of each a fine color reproduction and on the left a few paragraphs that are well-written, with information about Monet's life at the time and insightful remarks about the techniques used as well as the picture's significance to Monet and to the art world.I learned a lot reading this book, and not just about Monet. I also came to appreciate the artist even more than I had before, and feel better able to articulate why he was important. I loved this book and will seek out more in the series or by this author.Highly recommended.
