Claude Monet found inspiration in the rose-covered trellises, wild rambles of nasturtiums, and idle drift of water lilies in the gardens of Giverny outside Paris. So too did Stephen Shore, who photographed the gardens one hundred years later after their painstaking restoration. Commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to photograph the renascence of the gardens, Shore visited Giverny over six years beginning in 1977. Going to the gardens before dawn and leaving after dusk, in different show more seasons, he came to know them in all the moods and textures that inspired Monet. Shore's fidelity to the gardens' plenitude and his desire to present the abstract beauty of nature result in exquisitely serene photographs that express the essence of Giverny. show less
This small but thick book is a beautiful showcase of Monet's work and life. I wish that some of the images that were printed at postage stamp size had been given more space, as there were a few of those that ended up being my favorites and I had to look them up online to see them well. A great introduction to his work.
This book includes a variety of Monet's works--so nice to enjoy some Monet paintings besides the lillies (which I love too)!
