Discover what made Claude Monet the master of French 19th-century art in this sumptuous exploration of his life and work. With his use of colour and the ability to capture light on canvas, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive the natural world. The late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, can be said to be, in their almost total formlessness, really the origin of abstract art. This hefty book forms a complete record of his work, incorporating numerous reproductions and archive photos.
