Reseña del editor

The world of Claude Monet&;#8212&;#59;his break with the stultifying conventions of academic art, his revolutionary ideas about light and color, his reverence for nature, his acute perceptions of the modern world&;#8212&;#59;is best expressed in the hundreds of paintings he produced over a long career. From the youthful years in Le Havre and Paris to the final years at his beloved Giverny&;#8212&;#59; from the joyous discoveries of early Impressionism, through poverty and the bitter struggle for recognition, to fame and honor in old age&;#8212&;#59; there are always the luminous paintings.
This is abundantly clear in the present volume. In 132 pages of color plates and 119 black-and-white illustrations, the paintings proclaim the full force of the Impressionist master's achievement.
But Monet has also been revealed (and reviled) in words&;#8212&;#59;millions of them&;#8212&;#59;written by critics, poets, philosophers, scholars, and even statesmen. The shrill ridicule that greeted his breakthrough into a new kind of painting was gradually replaced by appreciation, adoration, and, in our own time, scholarly appraisal. Now, for the first time, this mass of material has been assembled into a single book, masterfully selected and annotated by Charles F. Stuckey, Curator of Nineteenth-Century European Painting at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C.
