Claude Monet - 1840-1926: a Feast for the Eyes

At the close of the eighteenth century, women began to discover a new sense of freedom, adventure, and self-determination, simply by walking in public unaccompanied. Previously, solitary walks by women were considered unseemly. An unaccompanied hike in the country was beyond imagination; to promenade by oneself on city boulevards was unthinkable. This book features evocative paintings of women doing just that, by a range of artists, from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, among them British portraitist Thomas Gainsborough, the scandalous Gustave Courbet, Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte, American masters Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent, and Nabi artist Félix Vallotton. With paintings as her guide, Karin Sagner takes us on a visual journey through this vital yet oft-overlooked aspect of women’s emancipation, from the promenades of the nobility to everyday walks in the city, on gentle strolls in the country or hikes up mountain summits. Quotes by luminaries like the Marquise de Sévigné, Jane Austen, and Simone de Beauvoir gracefully support her points. A thoughtful gift for graduates, teachers, or Mother’s Day, this subtle but profound book is not only an illuminating history but a beautiful art historical survey and an inspirational guide.

Abbeville Press

The many years that Claude Monet spent at his beloved house in Giverny represent an exceptionally fruitful and dynamic period in the artist’s career. To help readers understand why, the author explores every aspect of Monet’s idyllic retreat. Chronicling the painter’s arrival at Giverny, the author closely examines Monet’s works from that era to illustrate his mastery of color, brushstroke, and composition. Superb reproductions of Monet’s Grain Stacks, Poplars, and Early Morning series, Waterlily paintings, excerpts from his journals, and photographs of the artist in his studio at Giverny add depth and clarity to Sagner’s lucid text.

Strokes of genius: the magic of Monet... 
Claude Monet (1840–1926) was both the most typical and the most individual painter associated with the Impressionist movement. His long life and extraordinary work were dedicated to a pictorial exploration of the sensations which reality, and in particular landscape, offer the human eye. Monet’s poplars, grain stacks, Rouen Cathedral, and waterlily paintings — among the most beloved works of the Impressionist period — were created long before the currents of the contemporary avant-garde and had an inestimable influence on the development of modern art. This book traces the life’s work of one of art history’s most beloved painters.
