Product Description
Monet's interest in this space ?between the motif and the artist? encompassed too theephemeral nature of each image we see. In his beloved water lily series, as well as in paintings ofpoplars, grain stacks, and Rouen cathedral, he returned to the same motif in different seasons, different weather conditions, and at different times of the day, to explore the constant mutability of our visual environment.
This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art.
