Claude Monet: 1840-1926 is published to coincide with a major exhibition of Monet's works at The Art Institute of Chicago -the largest retrospective of Claude Monet ever held. A lavishly illustrated record of the exhibition, it presents in full colour 161 assembled masterpieces, drawn from collections all over the world. With a text
by leading Monet scholar Charles F. Stuckey, the book compiles the essential information about Monet's extraordinary career in the context of the Impressionist movement as a whole, providing an essential handbook on the artist for both the general reader and the specialist.
Monet's brilliant and lengthy career is highlighted with the best examples of his paintings from every period: his flowers and gardens, bridges and wheatstacks, sunrises and sunsets, boats and trains, poplars and water lilies are all included. Along with the paintings, a number of works on paper are illustrated, as well as documentary photographs and key works not included in the exhibition itself. Charles F. Stuckey presents an extensive month-by-month chronology of the artist, examining his life and career in absorbing detail. In an introductory essay he emphasizes a variety of overlooked issues at the heart of Monet's work: the importance of structure in his art, for example; the significance of the early
landscape paintings; and his stature not only as the leading Impressionist painter, but also as a major twentieth-century artist. Monet is considered here primarily in terms of his own ambitions to be a virtuoso, a revolutionary and a perfectionist. As this book makes clear, despite his present popularity he is still not credited for many of his most remarkable achievements.
