Monet by himself Edited by Richard Kendall, Paperback Book
Very good condition
"This volume on the life and work of Claude Monet is quite unlike any other book on this popular artist. For the first time a collection of Monet's own letters have been translated and brought together with a large selection of his paintings, pastels and drawings. There are letters to fellow artists and youthful friends, long affectionate letters to family and loved ones and begging letters in times of hardship. We read of Monet's persistence in money matters, his long negotiations with picture-dealers and collectors, his frustrations and successes while on painting expeditions to Italy, Brittany and Norway, and his experience of solitude, illness and bereavement in later life. Monet emerges from the correspondence as a more troubled and complex individual than his sun-filled canvases might suggest. Alongside the artist's letters are many superb colour reproductions - one of the largest collection of colour plates of his paintings ever brought together in a single volume."
