Stuckey","description":"\u003cp\u003eClaude Monet: 1840-1926 is published to coincide with a major exhibition of Monet's works at The Art Institute of Chicago - the largest retrospective of Claude Monet ever held. A lavishly illustrated record of the exhibition, it presents in full color 161 assembled masterpieces, drawn from collections all over the world. Charles F. Stuckey, a leading Monet scholar, presents an extensive month-by-month chronology of the artist, examining his life and work in absorbing detail. In an introductory essay he emphasizes a variety of overlooked issues at the heart of Monet's work: the importance of structure in his art, for example; the significance of the early landscape paintings; and his stature not only as the leading impressionist painter but also as a major twentieth-century artist. Monet is considered here primarily in terms of his own ambitions to be a virtuoso, a revolutionary, and a perfectionist. As this book makes clear, despite his present popularity he is still not credited for many of his most remarkable achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trailhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44235877712052,"sku":"9780865591349","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/2746\/1812\/files\/51X65W9DJBL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1779665391","url":"https:\/\/trailheadbooks.com\/products\/claude-monet-1840-1926-by-charles-f-stuckey","provider":"Trailhead Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
