About the author

Claude Monet also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 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.

Reviews

[Laura Talley · Rating 5 out of 5]

The short biography of Monet included are illustrations of some of his works with the date they were painted and brief descriptions.
He really was a starving artist for years and moved frequently.
Even though this book is brief it is packed with information

[The_J · Rating 4 out of 5]

The glorious confluence of genius and profligate creation.

[Alejandro Teruel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice quick reference guide to Monet´s biography and paintings. It includes a representative selection of good quality for value albeit small reproductions in color.

[Suzan Poisner · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lots of great photos, but the writing was sloppy and uninspiring.
