Included in the Discovering Art Series, The Life, Times and Work of Claude Monet provides an accessible introduction to Monet's life and work and his important role in establishing French Impressionism. Illustrations in the book chart Monet's progression from the creation of light and space by painting outdoors — plien-air — to his final near abstract paintings of water lilies at his famous Giverny home where he moved in 1883, remaining there until his death at a venerable 86 in 1926.To fully appreciate the lavishly illustrated Discovering Art series, view this eBook on your iPad or download the Kindle app to your Android tablet.
