A review by geekwayne
Monet: The Early Years by George T. M. Shackelford
4.0
'Monet The Early Years' by George T.M. Shackelford with essays by Anthea Callen, Mary Dailey Desmarais, Richard Shiff, and Richard Thomson is the companion catalog for an exhibit of works by Monet that was at the Kimbell Art Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco during late 2016 to mid-2017.
The essays in this book talk about the early techniques that Monet used. There is one devoted to the light used in Luncheon on the Grass. There is one that talks about compositional techniques. Monet was influenced by the painters around him, but he also went further in many ways.
The catalogue has information about where Monet was living and working during the creation of the paintings. There are also works by contemporaries throughout the book showing similar vistas from other eyes and brushes.
I enjoyed reading about this part of Monet's life, and I enjoyed getting to view the paintings that were in this exhibit.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Yale University Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
