A stunning exploration of the vital links between Claude Monet’s
Impressionism and the time technologies that helped define
modernity in the nineteenth century  Monet’s Minutes is a
revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of
Claude Monet (1840–1926)—founder of French Impressionism and
one of the world’s best-known painters—and the modern
experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet’s
celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late
nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it. Â
Monet’s version of Impressionism demonstrated an acute awareness
of the particularly modern pressures of time, but until now
scholars have not examined the histories and technologies of time
and timekeeping that informed Impressionism’s major stylistic
shifts. Arguing that the fascination with instantaneity rejected
the dulling cultures of newly routinized and standardized time,
Monet’s Minutes traces the evolution of Monet’s art to what
were then seismic shifts in the shape of time itself. Â In
each chapter, Dombrowski focuses on the connections between a set
of Monet’s works and a specific technology or experience of time,
while providing the voices of period critics responding to
Impressionism. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this
book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a
fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and
modern temporality.
