His technique – painting out of doors, at the seashore or in the city streets – was as radically new as his subject matter, the landscapes and middle-class pastimes of a newly industrialized Paris. Painting with an unprecedented immediacy and authenticity, Monet claimed that his work was something new: both natural and true.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this new introductory study, James H. Rubin – one of the world’s foremost specialists in 19th-century French art – traces the development of Monet’s practice, from his early work as a caricaturist to the late paintings of waterlilies and his garden at Giverny. Rubin explores the cultural currents that helped to shape Monet’s work: the utopian thought that gave rise to his politics; his interest in Japanese prints, gardening, and trends in the decorative arts; and his relationship with earlier French landscape painters as well as such contemporaries as Manet and Renoir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtent: 224 pp\u003cbr\u003eFormat: paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication date: 2020-03-12\u003cbr\u003eSize: 21.0 x 15.0 cm\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780500204474\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48483079717058,"sku":"9780500204474","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/designstore.artgallery.wa.gov.au\/products\/world-of-art-monet","provider":"AGWA Design Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
