If you like Monet, you'll like this. It details his whole life (although it is generally difficult to differentiate between reality and invention, such was Monet's manipulation of his reputation for marketing purposes) with his interrelations with contemporaries (not just artists, but sculptors, sponsors, novelists and politicians) with lots of reproductions of his paintings, although very frustratingly not all that are mentioned. Oh well, it would have been difficult to include all 2,000 or so of them, especially as some are still apparently hidden in Russian vaults after being looted after World War 2.
Me, I loved it, although there is no substitute for standing in front of the real thing, as I did in Tate Modern last week.
