{"product_id":"17984-monet","title":"Monet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;I\u0026rsquo;m pursuing the impossible . . . I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house, and boat are to be found\u0026mdash;the beauty of the air around them . . .\u0026rdquo; Claude Monet wanted to capture more than just air and light in impasto paint on canvas, as he explained in a conversation with the Danish author Herman Bang in 1895. The master of light was also a master of shadows and reflections. This is evident in his most famous paintings, such as that of the fa\u0026ccedil;ade of the Rouen cathedral, or the haystacks painted against light, or in the reflections of the water lilies in the pond at Giverny. In particular, his sun-drenched groves, coastlines, and depictions of the Seine in both summer and winter, demonstrate how Monet revolutionized painting by questioning the conventional notions of what a painting could be. This exquisite volume is devoted to the works from the period between 1880 and 1905 and truly paints Monet in a new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition: Fondation Beyeler Riehen\/Basel, January 22\u0026ndash;May 28, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526191833352,"sku":"9783775742412","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775742412_6ab84d62-bafd-4c08-ab9c-d541d995ccd0.jpg?v=1744119812","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17984-monet","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
