Along with Turner, no artist has sought more than Claude Monet
(1840-1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the
Impressionists, it was the man Cezanne called "only an eye, but my
God what an eye!" who stayed completely true to the principle of
absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from
the object. It could be said that Monet reinvented the
possibilities of color, and whether it was through his early
interest in Japanese prints, his time in the dazzling light of
Algeria as a conscript, or his personal acquaintance with the major
painters of the late 1800s, what Monet produced throughout his long
life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural
world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his
explorations were the late series of water lilies, painted in his
own garden at Giverny, that, in their moves towards almost total
formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art. This biography
does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly
influential of artists, and offers numerous reproductions and
archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.
