Book excerpt: Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to 'plein-air' landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, 'soleil levant').This book is the most comprehensive collection of Claude Monet's Paintings ever published, covering the artist's entire 64 years of creation; a keepsake for the connoisseur of fine art.

Book excerpt: It was the end of WWI when Oscar, an American soldier in a French Army hospital, learned of his mother's death. While recovering from his war wounds, Oscar decided to remain in France to search for his father, an Impressionist painter. His mother had never revealed his father's identity. Through a twist of fate, he was hired to be Claude Monet's gardener.Oscar hoped to further his landscaping career by working in Monet's world-famous garden at Giverny. Perhaps the most renowned Impressionist could help him find his father. Monet, tired and disheartened by his deteriorating eyesight, introduced Oscar to his previous painting venues and Impressionist friends. These meetings provided insights into Monet's life and art and provided clues to finding Oscar's father.Oscar lost his heart to a provocative young woman on the train from Paris. Isabelle, an American artist, introduced him to the exciting fashions and risky exploits of the Roaring '20s. Isabelle and Oscar became regulars at Monet family gatherings as their infatuation blossomed into a doomed love affair. Oscar's past, present, and future collided in a way that he never anticipated and barely survived.I first met Claude Monet in college, where he taught me the essence of light and art. I've spent thirty years researching this book -- reading biographies, attending museums, and touring Monet's home and garden. This historically accurate depiction of Monet, as seen through the eyes of his fictional son, Oscar, is my homage to him.

Book excerpt: One understudied aspect of the life and works of Oscar-Claude Monet (1840-1926) is the artist's engagement with the town of Étretat on the Normandy coast of France during the mid-1880s. Monet traveled there twice for extended painting sojourns and eventually created over eighty works, more than he painted of any other site away from his home. Through these visits, Monet witnessed Étretat's shift from a quiet fishing village in a dramatic natural setting to a tourist destination. In this focused study, Chiyo Ishikawa places Monet's Étretat works within the context of his artistic ambition and frustration at a key moment in his life and career. She also explores the changing relationship between society and landscape in late nineteenth-century France. The book features sixteen paintings by Monet and his contemporaries Gustave Courbet, Camille Corot, and Eugène Boudin, supplemented by photographs and ephemeral material to bring to life Monet's experience in the region. The biographical context, in addition to the immersive visual experience, offers a vivid account of this significant aspect of Monet's artistic progression.

This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of three young men: two French, one Russian; all born the same year, when European culture was moving from Romanticism to something else in painting, music, and literature. Influenced by the environment from which they came, all three grew to take a leading role in moving the arts in a bold new direction. It was the age when Impressionism reinvented what painting could be, when Naturalism changed how fiction is written, and when Russia moved from the edges of European society to the vital role it has played ever since. Leading, guiding, determining this new course were Monet, Tchaikovsky, and Zola. Parallel biographies of these three artistic geniuses follow them from the magic year of their birth to the point when they established themselves as bold, original creators in the early 1870s. The book explores how they chose to follow careers in creative art, how each of them came to play such a central role in their respective domains, and how those arts interacted and influenced each other. As they move through the cultural world of 19th century Europe, a panorama appears of the rich intellectual environment of France and Russia in that period, as well as the unique experiences and talents that led all three to their towering position in modern culture. Often considered separately, art, music, and literature come together in this study to offer a multifaceted view of a key era in the development of modernism in all the arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although his career spanned a mere twenty years, Édouard Manet remains one of the most influential artists in history. Rejecting the classical style of painting religious or mythological subjects, Manet was one of the first artists in the nineteenth century to paint modern people in modern situations. Many of his paintings depicted the everyday street life of Paris, especially the cafés. The realism of his art offended the mainstream art community, and as a result, Manet's work was criticized as being obscene and unskilled. Despite the critics, paintings such as The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia inspired the Impressionist movement and marked the beginning of modern art.
