My Christmas wish list this yr, I had wished for fashion and interior design books as well as Art Deco books that I could display on my coffee table. As my mom and aunt very graciously gifted me beautiful collector editions in the both genres- This beautiful Monet book was a gift to myself! Pages and pages filled with majority of my favorite pieces of his work. Essays describing him and his insight into his greatest works of art. This is one of my favorite books (no no... I can’t just call this great work just a book) this is indeed a collectors piece of literary art. I loved every moment diving through the world of Monet. This will be another beauty on my coffee table!
4.5 stars. Gorgeous full page plates and most of my favourites. Many of the prints were black and white, but my favourites were mostly colour. The book also contains essays on Monet, Some dating back to the 1800s.
