Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840-1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézanne called \"only an eye, but my God what an eye!\" who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 19th century, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his explorations was the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildenstein, Daniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836590839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 8.70w x 2.10d","brand":"Daniel Wildenstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39914924802123,"sku":"9783836590839","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_d9a28ede-e0f1-4bc5-8595-bf58ed25a5cc.jpg?v=1669740018","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/monet-the-triumph-of-impressionism-9783836590839","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
