Sintetico, ma efficace... Una panoramica breve, ma completa su vita e opere di Monet... mi è servito per il catalogo di una mostra su alcuni pittori contemporanei eredi della tradizione impressionista...

Interesting the way it ties together the political climate and personal experiences with the evolution in art techniques. Monet and his art circle played a vital role in the development of the impressionist movement.
