Monet at Giverny

The many years that Claude Monet spent at his beloved house in Giverny represent an exceptionally fruitful and dynamic period in the artist’s career. To help readers understand why, the author explores every aspect of Monet’s idyllic retreat. Chronicling the painter’s arrival at Giverny, the author closely examines Monet’s works from that era to illustrate his mastery of color, brushstroke, and composition. Superb reproductions of Monet’s Grain Stacks, Poplars, and Early Morning series, Waterlily paintings, excerpts from his journals, and photographs of the artist in his studio at Giverny add depth and clarity to Sagner’s lucid text.
