Book Description
Monet was the most typical and the most individual Impressionist painter. But while the painter was faithful and persevering in the pursuit of his motifs, his personal life followed a more restless course. Parisian by birth, he discovered painting as a youth in the provinces, where one of his homes, Argenteuil, has come to represent the artistic flowering and official establishment of Impressionism as a movement.

Book Description
From bestselling author Ross King, a brilliant portrait of the legendary artist and the story of his most memorable achievement. Claude Monet is perhaps the world's most beloved artist, and among all his creations, the paintings of the water lilies in his garden at Giverny are most famous. Monet intended the water lilies to provide "an asylum of peaceful meditation." Yet, as Ross King reveals in his magisterial chronicle of both artist and masterpiece, these beautiful canvases belie the intense frustration Monet experienced in trying to capture the fugitive effects of light, water, and color. They also reflect the terrible personal torments Monet suffered in the last dozen years of his life. Mad Enchantment tells the full story behind the creation of the Water Lilies, as the horrors of World War I came ever closer to Paris and Giverny and a new generation of younger artists, led by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, were challenging the achievements of Impressionism. By early 1914, French newspapers were reporting that Monet, by then seventy-three, had retired his brushes. He had lost his beloved wife, Alice, and his eldest son, Jean. His famously acute vision--what Paul Cezanne called "the most prodigious eye in the history of painting†?--was threatened by cataracts. And yet, despite ill health, self-doubt, and advancing age, Monet began painting again on a more ambitious scale than ever before. Linking great artistic achievement to the personal and historical dramas unfolding around it, Ross King presents the most intimate and revealing portrait of an iconic figure in world culture.

Book Description
In May of 2010, Gagosian Gallery presented the most significant gathering of late Claude Monet paintings in New York in more than thirty years. The catalogue for the exhibition that the New York Times described as "a gorgeous 'where on earth did this come from?' show," focuses on important subjects drawn from the artist's gardens at Giverny. Nymphéas, Le pont japonais, and L'allée de rosiers are among the most treasured paintings of Monet's long and prodigious career. Reproduced in luscious color are early Nymphéas that were first shown in 1909 at the Galerie Durand-Ruel to great critical acclaim. From these delicate, poetic paintings follow the more experimental post-1914 paintings, which were never exhibited during the artist's lifetime. In addition to the 27 sumptuous colour plates, the catalogue is illustrated by numerous colour images of paintings, as well as black-and-white historical photos. It includes a new essay by Paul Hayes Tucker, one of the foremost authorities on Monet and curator of the exhibition; an extract from Michel Butor's seminal 1962 text, "Monet, or the World Turned Upside Down" and a detailed chronology of Monet's life and exhibitions while at Giverny written by leading Monet scholar Charles Stuckey. Also included is a compendium of historical reviews that have been translated from their original French, Italian, or German language and which have been assembled for the first time by Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts.
