This is the first book I've purchased on Art History and I don't regret it one bit! I've been fascinated by art history and its key figures for sometime now. I loved plunging into Monet's (pronounced Mo-nay, I learnt that the hard way) life and understanding what it meant to be a painter during his time. I also learnt a lot about loss and hardship he faced to gain the recognition he has today. He honestly went from begging his friends for money because no one would buy his paintings to making thousands off one painting.

I think this book has taught me a lot and I look forward to reading more on art history too.

Quite recent publication this, from 2005, if that means anything in the art world. Matthias Arnold is a German art historian who specialises in the impressionist field. In under two hundred pages, this book is a quick read, yet has a quite insightful biography of the artist. To be quite honest, I've read other books in the past on this same subject, and my only reason for lifting this one off the library shelf is to just look at the pictures.
