Catalogue from the exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Canada and presented in Ottawa from 30 October 2015 to 15 February 2016. English and French text. "French painter Claude Monet 1840-1926 is one of the most popular artists of all time. His series of water lilies hay fields cathedrals and many other masterpieces are loved and admired by everyone. For the first time this volume explores a new aspect of Monet's paintings: his fascination with bridges in the 1870s. After settling in Argenteuil a small town on the Paris outskirts Monet became interested in a bridge over the Seine not far from his home The Pont de bois of 1872. The book begins with this picture and examines how Monet was able to exploit the theme of the bridge between 1872 and 1877 after the Franco-Prussian War and beyond. Magnificently illustrated the volume examines both how Monet set himself to be the leader of the avant-garde and the prime role that bridges represented in this context. Focused on Monet's main works the catalog also examines Impressionists in a changing environment and the transformation of Paris and its periphery at the end of the nineteenth century." - from the publisher's web site. 5 Continents hardcover books
