This is an in-depth look at many aspects of the life and work of the great French Impressionist, Claude Monet. One article is devoted to the topography and weather of Giverny, and the manner in which Monet conducted his work there; another article concentrates on Monet’s water garden at Giverny, the second series of waterlily paintings, and the resemblances between Japanese water art and Monet’s water garden; another article examines Monet as a gardener and horticulturalist; an art historian describes the garden at Giverny and their relationship to the traditional cottage garden; another article discusses the last years of Monet, from 1918 until his death in 1926; another article examines Monet’s position as an artist in terms of the historical context of the French fine de siecle; and the final article analyzes the “Monet revival of the 50s” and the artist’s influence on Cezanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
