Description
Claude Monet transformed light and colour into art. In 1874 his Impression, Sunrise caused uproar among the critics and a revolution in painting. His inventiveness was inexhaustible: with the Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals and, finally, the enchanting Water-lilies of Givemy, Monet captured light in all its fleeting qualities. At last, almost blind - I fear the dark more than death- he feverishly produced near-abstract landscapes of water and reflection, a vision of nature that paved the way for the art of our own day. This book traces his career.

Picked this up at the Fine Arts Museum in St. Pete, FL when they had the Monet exhibit on 1/05. The exhibit was my b-day present.
