fantastic Monet book

I have been looking and reading this book for days now. Excellent reference book. I've seen several of his paintings in person and don't know what the negative reviewer meant by poor reproduction. I don't agree. I was looking for a Monet book that had many of his different paintings. He was very prolific at 2000 plus. This book fit the bill. PLUS it had information about where he painted and some interesting personal bits that were very informative. Not a biography b any means but very interesting. Now I need something like this for Renoir. Please post a follow-up if you have rec's for a good comprehensive Renoir picture" book.

Outstanding book!!

I loved this book! The pictures were wonderful and the readings that went with them were as well. Learned many things that I did not know about his artwork. VERY informative...give it a try, it would make a great gift book!
