Claude Monet's Gardens at Giverny
- Used Book in Good Condition
Water lilies, reflecting ponds, a Japanese footbridge, and blankets of glorious flowers: Nothing evokes Claude Monetâ€™s Impressionist paintings quite like images from his gardens at Giverny, about 50 miles northwest of Paris. Monet discovered a profound source of artistic renewal in these gardens, a motif that appears in hundreds of his works. In Claude Monetâ€™s Gardens at Giverny, Dominique Lobsteinâ€™s dynamic text introduces us to the many personalities that have strolled through these gardens and the role this setting played in Monetâ€™s life, while Jean-Pierre Gilsonâ€™s lush four-season photographs offer a tour through the literally thousands of flowersâ€”daffodils, irises, poppies, tulips, and moreâ€” winding pathways, arching trellises, cherry trees heavily laden with blossoms, and, of course, the iconic water garden. This book brings to life critical moments in Monetâ€™s biography, presenting a vivid glimpse into the beloved artistâ€™s personal experiences and creative universe.
