Monet's Series Paintings - Stacks of Wheat

Monet: Nature into Art

by: John House

John House's introduction to Monet's life and work presents a sequence of dazzling illustrations that chart the artist's progress as he became increasingly preoccupied with color and atmospheric effect, and the direct studies of nature gave way to paintings of greater richness and harmony, in which the play of varied colors replaced the conventional drawing and modeling of forms.

Monet in the '90s: The Series Paintings

by: Professor Paul Hayes Tucker

Paul Hayes Tucker, provides a fresh context for the series paintings. He proposes that they related to contemporary events in France and to Monet's determination to provide active leadership for his nation's artistic production. Tucker looks at the development of his art before the 1890s and the cultural pressures of the 1880s that caused Monet to turn to serial painting.

He focuses on the major and minor series of paintings from the 1890s and examines how they were painted and how they were received.

Monet in Normandy

by: Richard Brettell

This a catalogue of the 2007 exhibition. Monet began his painting career in Nomandy and there met his first great mentor, Eugène Boudin. Monet developed a deep affection for the region and would return time and again to paint its dramatic coastline and seaside villages and resorts.

The catalogue also takes a new look at Monet and examines some of his most important paintings, including the famed Giverny canvases, the iconic haystacks, and the Rouen cathedral series. It also considers some rarely seen works.

The catalogue also puts Monet's work in context with those who came before-Corot, Millet, Courbet, Whistler, and Boudin-and his fellow painters -Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas.

The Unknown Monet: Pastels and Drawings (Clark Art Institute)

by: Curator James A. Ganz, Mr. Richard Kendall

This book is the first to focus on Monet's pastels, drawings, and sketchbooks, offering a revolutionary new interpretation of the artist's life and work. Monet has long been seen as an anti-draftsman, an artist who painted his subjects directly and whose rarely seen graphic works were marginal to his artistic process. Citing recently discovered, unpublished documents that overturn the accepted image of the artist, The Unknown Monet reveals an extensive group of graphic works created over the course of the artist's career, many of which are unknown to the general public and to scholars: beautiful pastels, stunning black chalk drawings, and fascinating sketchbooks, which include pencil studies that relate to many of his paintings. The book also shows how Monet exploited the print media to promote his art.
