Monet's Landscapes

Presented alongside Monet's Impressionist paintings, Russell's superb photographs capture the spirit of their locations--along the River Creuse, around the coasts of France, near his home at Giverny, and on his travels to Holland, Norway, Venice, and London. They convey the visual drama of Monet's motifs--their form, and the play and quality of the light that inspired him to paint them. Quoting extensively from Monet's letters, Russell brings the painter to life as never before. In a powerful combination of art, photographs, text, and works, the book gives a fascinagting insight into this most celebrated and beloved painter.
