Monet Book of Postcards

Claude Monet ranks among the greatest painters in the history of Western art. He was the most influential of the Impressionists. a group of painters who strove to capture the endless variations of light and atmosphere that occur over the course of a day in a given location. His career spanned a revolution that was predicated on an intensification of realism and eventually led the way to abstraction. This book of postcards includes 30 of Monet’s best-loved works. including coastscapes. landscapes. city scenes. still lifes—including his unparalleled paintings of flower-filled meadows and the exquisite gardens and water lily pond at Giverny.
