No other artist, apart from J. M. W. Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840–1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézanne called “only an eye, but my God what an eye!” who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object.
It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 19th century, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his explorations was the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art.
This biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.

Daniel Wildenstein (1917-2001) was an art historian and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (Paris). From 1939 onwards, he was Director of the Wildenstein Galleries of New York, London and Tokyo. He edited several international journals, e.g. the magazine Arts from 1956-1962 and the Gazette des Beaux-Arts after 1963. He co-founded the Fondation Wildenstein in 1970 and was a prime mover in many exhibitions of international repute. Daniel Wildenstein also edited the catalogues raisonnés of various 18th, 19th and 20th century artists. He was a world authority on Impressionism and published catalogues of the works of Gauguin, Manet and Monet.
Kein anderer Künstler - abgesehen von William Turner - hat sich so sehr bemüht wie Claude Monet (1840-1926), das Licht auf der Leinwand einzufangen. Von allen Impressionisten war er jener Künstler, über den Cézanne einst sagte: "Nur ein Auge, doch - mein Gott - welch ein Auge!" Monet hielt immer am Prinzip der absoluten Treue zur visuellen Empfindung fest und malte direkt vom Objekt.
Man könnte sagen, dass Monet die Möglichkeiten der Farbe neu entdeckt hat. Sein Lebenswerk hat unsere Wahrnehmung der Welt und ihrer Phänomene grundlegend verändert - sei es durch sein frühes Interesse für japanische Holzschnitte, seine Erfahrungen während der Zeit als Rekrut im grellen Licht Algeriens oder seine Bekanntschaften mit den bedeutendsten Malern des späten 19. Jahrhunderts. Den Höhepunkt seiner Erkundungen erreicht Monet mit der späten Seerosenserie, die er in seinem Garten in Giverny malte und die in ihrem Streben nach fast völliger Gestaltlosigkeit den Ursprung der abstrakten Kunst bildet.
Diese Biografie würdigt einen bemerkenswerten und äußerst einflussreichen Künstler und bietet zahlreiche Reproduktionen, Archivfotos sowie ausführliche Texte zu Leben und Werk.
