Claude Monet A Life in Letters

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The first major English-language publication dedicated to Monet's letters, expertly selected and richly illustrated with his paintings.

Claude Monet's letters - to his friends, family, fellow artists, patrons and gallerists - offer an unmatched glimpse into the artist's life, revealing his passions, anxieties and frank opinions, and expanding our view of his working life and practice. From his formative years to fame at the end of his life, this selection of letters is accompanied by profiles of his correspondents, expert introductions and comprehensive annotations. Illustrated with some of Monet's best-known paintings, contemporary photographs and reproductions of some of the letters themselves, his world is revealed in words and images as never before.

Published to mark the centenary of the artist's death, this is a fresh opportunity to explore the life and letters of the 'father of Impressionism' in his own words.
