Monet's Landscapes

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Windswept skies, towering poplars, vertiginous cliffs, majestic cityscapes -- Claude Monet captured in luminous paint the fleeting moments that make up these images of landscape. In so doing, he conveyed the vitality of nature and the elements.Presented alongside Monet's paintings, Russell's superb photographs capture the spirit and excitement of the locations -- on the River Creuse, around the coasts of France, near his home at Giverny, and on his travels to Holland, Norway, Venice, and London. Taken during the appropriate seasons, Russell's photographs convey the visual drama of Monet's motifs -- their form, and the play and quality of the light that inspired him to paint them.

As Monet travelled, he recorded the minutiae of his days in his letters to his wife, Alice, and his friends. Quoting extensively from these letters, some of which are published here in English for the first time, Russell reveals the inner workings of Monet's mind, bringing him to life as never before. In a powerful combination of art, photographs, text, and works, the book gives a fascinating insight into this most celebrated and beloved painter.
