Mad Enchantment Claude Monet And The Painting Of The Water Lilies by Ross King
Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies
A vivid, tightly focused narrative of the last decades of Claude Monet’s life that traces how he transformed his Giverny water garden into the source and subject of a vast, obsessive series of water-lily paintings; it follows his creative process, struggles with health and failing eyesight, and the disruptions of World War I, while situating the work in its artistic and social context and showing how these monumental canvases came to challenge critics and reshape ideas about modern landscape painting.
