Reviews
I bought this book because I wanted to study the art of Claude Monet with my children (age 11 and under). The representations in the book are beautiful - the next best thing to visiting a museum and seeing the real artwork. All of Monet's well known paintings are included along with numerous additional works and even a few photographs of Monet. (In particular, I loved seeing the photo of Monet painting his beloved Water Lilies panorama.)If you're also looking to use this book with your children, though, be aware that there are several paintings of nude models included.
