Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies by Ross King
5.0
2 / 4 : If you have time, read
[Growing old and blind, painter Claude Monet takes on the most ambitious set of works of his life]
As WWI rages, Monet lives in isolated comfort, far away from the days when he could hardly sell a single painting. From his food, to his family, to his painting, his stubbornness in these late days is his defining trait, and from his almost single-mindedness came his famous water lilies.
Not a particularly sympathetic character to root for, his friend Georges Clemenceau steals the show.
NON-FICTION
