Monet

Generally regarded as the pivotal figure in the development of Impressionism, Monet's oeuvre is amply illustrated in this huge monograph on his life and work. Ostensibly a painter of light, Monet, throughout his career, experimented with an ever-expanding range of techniques and effects that are evident in the broad range of paintings rendered over a span of some seventy years, and represented here. With a chronological list of works, and an index. Hundreds of color illustrations; b&w biographical photos. 447p.
