Claude Monet (1840-1926) changed expectations on canvas by trying to capture not only reality but also perception. With rapid brushstrokes, tones, patterns, and light play on outlines, he questioned how visual impressions are perceived, challenging the painters of earlier centuries. Monet was fascinated by the relationship between motif and artist. By exploring the same motif under different weather conditions and times of day, he featured subjects such as water lilies, poplars, and grain piles across multiple works. This book offers deeper insight into Monet’s life and art, providing a more profound understanding of his style and influence, and opens the doors to the world of art for the reader.
