Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A pithy introduction to the life and work of Claude Monet, who paved the way for the evolution of modern art in his relentless pursuit to capture the play of light on canvas. Claude Monet (1840-1926) transformed the story of art in the nineteenth century. Breaking with the established taste and traditions of the academy, he instead chose to depict the people and places he loved best, creating a record of the changing urban landscape of modern everyday life. Pithy yet poignant, this introduction explores the memorable life and work of Monet. Looking at his then radical preference for painting 'en plein air', this book presents an iconic artist who redefined the nature of perception in his relentless pursuit to capture the play of light on canvas, paving the way for the evolution of modern art.
