Monet's Cathedral Details
From Library Journal The 30 paintings that comprise the Rouen Cathedral series are presented together for the first time in this book, which was originally published in Great Britain. The large, clear color plates are arranged according to Monet's location as he faced the famous cathedral's western facade. Basing his eloquent text on correspondence, the great-grandson of Impressionist Camille Pissarro provides a detailed analysis of the illusive moments Monet captured on canvas through a painstakingly slow, deliberate process. The immutable Gothic structure is seen as a backdrop for the ever-changing sunlight, shadows, and mists at various times of the day. A two-page index of the plates, in color, supplements the volume. This fine study of a single cycle and Monet's widespread popularity make it a good choice for all collections.- Joan Levin, Indian Trails P.L., Wheeling, Ill.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
