Reviews
There are many books that claim to capture the 'real' Monet. However, this book not only captures but explores the true nature of this classical artist. I was lucky enough to have purchased this tome to enchance my art book collection. If you have an art lover in your home I would strongly suggest this title. Not only will this enhance your art collection but this is a great conversation piece if noticed on your coffee table. If your passion for art stirs your soul then this book should be on your wish list
