The Art Institute of Chicago holds one of the largest and finest representations in North America of the work of Claude Monet (1840-1926), covering the entire career of this great Impressionist master. This book reproduces all 33 Monet paintings in the Art Institute in full color, along with a number of beautiful and instructive details. Andrew Forge's discussion of Monet's achievements - from the Arrival of the Normandy Train, Saint-Lazare Station to the six extraordinary paintings from his well-known Wheatstack series, from his years in Argenteuil to the creation of his garden of water lilies in Giverny - will engage and inform all who are interested in this remarkable artist.
