Monet at Giverny (Pegasus Library)

<p>In May 1883 the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet settled with his family in Giverny, a small village on the Seine northwest of Paris. There, amidst the romantic garden landscape that Monet himself helped to design - including his own house and studio, greenhouses, ponds, and a Japanese-style bridge - the most fascinating and mature works of his last forty years came into being. In this volume Sagner-Duchting examines three important series that Monet painted in the immediate vicinity of Giverny: the Grain Stacks, the Poplars, and the Early Morning on the Seine series. In addition to providing a fascinating look at the influence of Giverny and its surroundings on his work, the author discusses Monet's innovative "open form, " exemplified by the paintings in his famous Waterlilies series. With these late works, Monet diverged from traditional pictorial ideas and came to be recognized as a pioneer of modern art.</p>
