Make A Good Impression
The Treasures of Monet (Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris)
An 88 page hardcover book, "The Treasures of Monet," is a journey into the life and work of the artist Claude Monet. It includes memorabilia such as drawings, paintings, handwritten notes and letters relating to significant events in Monet's life. The original material was donated to the Musee Marmottan in Paris by the artist's son, Michael Monet.
Gauguin Tahiti
The Tahiti "period" of Gauguin's life is illustrated with 250 color plates, and 80 black and white illustrations. The well-documented text says little about the least attractive parts of the artist's lifestyle, should that matter to you. Famous, and not so famous, Gauguin works are presented.
Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings (Taschen specials)
This look at Van Gogh combines a monograph on his life with the complete catalogue of his 871 paintings. Most of the paintings are shown in color.
Mary Cassatt: A Life
One of my favorite artists! Mary Cassatt is North America's expatriate artist. She defied family and convention to study art in France, where she lived most of her life. This is a well written, well documented, well illustrated, biography.
Renoir Landscapes: 1865-1883 (National Gallery Company)
Renoir taught himself to paint by working with Monet and Sisley, two Impressionist painters. In the 1870s, Renoir began to define his own landscape style and this volume focuses on these paintings.
