A luxurious monograph in the centenary year of the artist’s death, Monet (re)discovers the painter and the man, placing insightful text alongside ‘must have’ and lesser-known works.
Claude Monet, who remains one of the world’s best-known and beloved artists, spent 70 of his 86 years with paintbrush in hand, drawing strength from constant renewal and reinvention. He embodied the beginnings of Impressionism, then defined it. Few artists have enjoyed such longevity or demonstrated such inventiveness. Monet: Beyond the Horizon traces this career, drawing on a rich iconography that includes the ‘must haves’ as well as lesser-known and sometimes surprising works. Author Marianne Mathieu allows us to (re)discover the painter and the man in his simplicity and his daily routine. She immerses the reader in the light and the color that characterized and shaped Monet’s work.
