In April 1874, thirty artists, among them Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne and Degas, participated in an exhibition held in a Paris studio. A scathing review in the newspaper 'Le Charivari' appeared under the title 'The Exhibition of the Impressionists', a derisive play on the title of one of the paintings by Monet on show, 'Impression, soleil levant' (Impression, Sunrise), thus giving this group of artists the name by which they would henceforth be known. This intriguing and colourful biography of Monet's world-famous painting accompanies an exhibition celebrating the 140th anniversary of the First Impressionist Exhibition. Author Biography: Marianne Mathieu is Deputy Director, Head of Collections and Communication of the Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris. Dominique Loebstein is the former head of documentary studies in the painting department of the Musee d'Orsay, Paris. Exhibition: Musée Monet Marottan, Paris, France (18.9.-18.1.2015).
Over 130 illustrations. Together with Renoir and Degas, Claude Monet was one of the organizers of the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874. Considering Impressionism a national French style, Monet painted such diverse subjects as urban scenes, still life's, landscapes, seascapes, and nature studies, including his famed gardens of Giverny. By the time of his death in 1926, Monet's works were famous throughout the world, and their influence helped shape the direction of painting in the twentieth century. The full range of the artist's work is showcased in this volume, illustrated with 136 full-color reproductions.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to 'plein-air' landscape painting.
