WATER LILIES: Claude Monet

A heavyweight quality Könemann multilingual edition by the well regarded art historian. The cycles of Water Lilies are a highlight in Claude Monet's work and found in collections around the world. They have become the most beloved pieces and never before has such a focus been paid as in this splendid showcase. Monet brought in the interplay of colour and light, the atmospheric water and air, and the beauty of nature and impressions together with such harmony. This enchanting collection is reproduced in close up detail on glossy white heavy paper stock and in the introductory pages also features such images as the Japanese Bridge, Charing Cross Bridge London before looking in detail at the pinks and greens and yellows and blues of Monet's garden at Giverny. There are reflections of the weeping willows, sunsets and the Water Lily Cycle as shown at the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, in a beautiful sweeping arc around the room, skylights above flooding the panorama in natural daylight and creating a synthesis of majestic royal purples and lilacs, light and space, painting and architecture, art and nature. 29cm x 27cm, 200pp, colour.
