This book was sold at an exhibition of Monet's works at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Monet is my favorite painter so when the exhibit came, I had to go see it and the book had some of my favorite paintings in its collection. The essays were interesting and had information about Monet that I didn't know before. The essays focused on his time at his house in Giverny, but information and paintings were included from throughout his life and career. ( )
