Nearly 40 years in preparation, this four-volume catalogue raisonn, collects all the known works of Claude Monet, the artist who best symbolizes the achievements of the Impressionist movement. Updated, with the addition of almost 100 rediscovered and previously unpublished canvases, these volumes include more than 2,000 works, all of which have been carefully scrutinized for authenticity. The research that underlies this monumental project has been both painstaking and thorough. Not only have new "finds" been included, but copious copies and forgeries have been eliminated--a feat made more difficult by the fact that Monet never painted two identical canvases. Color & b&w illus. Slipcased. }
