Monet

Claude Monet (1840-1926), hailed as the "prince of the Impressionists", transformed expectations about the purpose of painting on canvas. Defying a centuries-old tradition, Monet did not attempt to capture only reality, but the act of perception itself.

Working outdoors with rapid, impetuous brushstrokes, he rethought the play of light on tones, patterns and contours, and how these visual impressions reach the eye.

Monet's interest in this space "between the motif and the artist" also encompassed the ephemeral nature of the images we see. In his beloved series of water lilies, as well as in the paintings of poplars, haystacks and Rouen Cathedral, he recaptured the same motif in different seasons, weather conditions and times of day to experiment with the constant mutability of our visual environment.

This book presents an essential introduction to an artist who irrevocably transformed the history of art with works that were part of a reflection on the purpose of a painting and the passage of time.
