Description

Capturing the ever-changing face of reality

Explore the incomparable reach of the most beloved of impressionist masters, Claude Monet. Working en plein air, Monet’s dappled renderings of the reality taking place “between the motif and the artist” emphasized the ephemeral moment and with it became eternal markers of burgeoning modernism.

This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art.
