No other artist, apart from J. M. W. Turner, tried as hard as
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 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. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese
prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria,
or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late
19th century, the work 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 was the
late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny,
which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are
really the origin of abstract art. This biography does full justice
to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and
offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a
detailed and insightful commentary.
