This lavishly illustrated book presents the first complete overview of the life, art, and times of Claude Monet, one of the quintessential Impressionists. "Mr. Tucker . . . challenges the long-standing formalist interpretation of Monet's work".--"New York Times Book Review". 254 illustrations, 197 in color.

"Tucker is keen to show the whole man, setting Monet's work within the changing art politics of his sixty-year career. For an art historian so confident with the requirements of social history, discussing the changing nature of the suburbs, say, or the vagaries of the art market, he writes with vivacity about the pictures, not afraid to slip into metaphors to illuminate his readings...Tucker's monogragh is an elequent example of how our understanding of Impressionism has been deepened in recent years."

Richard Thomson, Times Literary Supplement, 06/16/1995

"The author's discussion of Monet's choice of motifs and their relation to social and political aspects of the time is useful. His attempt to find revelation of Monet's domestic life in the canvases end in useless speculation. The book's illustrations are generous and predictably a visual delight."

Poebe-Lou Adams, Atlantic Monthly, July, 1995
