- For the first time, this book explores a new aspect of Monet's work: his fascination, during the 1870s, with bridges
Beautifully illustrated and published to accompany a major exhibition, the book explores how Monet sought to establish himself as a leader of the avant-garde and how his paintings of bridges played a pivotal role in this context. Focusing on twelve major paintings by Monet, the catalogue further examines the Impressionists' response to their ever-changing environment and the late nineteenth-century transformation of Paris and its suburbs. The publication consists of three sections featuring three essays followed by an illustrated chronology: Monet's use of the bridge as a testing ground for his innovative ideas, the role of photography, illustrations, and contemporary influences; the expansion of Paris and the urban cityscape; the role of Impressionism in the context of the Franco-Prussian war.
