Looking at Paintings (Eyewitness Art)

The work of Claude Monet inspired the term 'Impressionism' and helped to define one of the most important artistic movements of the 19th century. This superbly illustrated account of Monet's long career brings the story of this remarkable painter vividly to life.An artist whose obsessive perfectionism led him to destroy his own work Claude Monet was a complex man. As a painter he challenged the French art establishment and created startlingly innovative works often executed out of doors and at high speed. He depicted human figures by means of a few rapid brushstrokes streaking the canvas with dashes of bold bright colour. His desire to record the precise effects of light and shade led him to work on up to 100 paintings in a single day. Interweaving biography with in-depth analysis of key techniques themes and stylistic approaches Monet gives a powerful insight into the life and work of one of the world's best-loved artists.

This Eyewitness Book examines the impressionist style and includes information and art work from numerous notables, such as Renoir, Degas, Monet and Seurat. The book explores interesting developments in the art world, such as the relationship of complementary colors and the increase in the type and availability of artistic supplies, such as paint. Readers can think about how new knowledge and different resources influenced the way artists painted during the late 1800s. I particularly enjoyed a small scene painted by Monet on his artist palette, from which he began with six blobs of paint around the edge. Readers will also enjoy learning about how artists studied people, animals and everyday life through sketches and sculptures to hone their artistic craft. The book contains many full color quality images of famous pieces of artwork combined with easy to read text written in a format to keep the reader's attention. I would recommend this book for grades 4-12.
