Reviews
For a non-specialist like myself, this book offered a wonderful introduction not only to the careers of Monet and Monet, but to the artistic scene in France in the late 1800s. Photos of the paintings seem well chosen to illustrate the differing intentions of the two artists and how those intentions began to converge as Manet, whose primary theme had been Parisian society, came to appreciate the plaine aire work of the younger artist with his floating studio.
