"I perhaps owe it to flowers," wrote Claude Monet (1840-1926), "that I became a painter." His fascination with trees, while perhaps of equal intensity, is less well-documented. Trees--willows enveloped in the eerie mists of the Seine, palm trees beneath the bright Mediterranean sun, poplars heavily laden with snow--became a significant motif in his work, and he used them to experiment with an extraordinary variety of tones and colors. One of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement and perhaps the most celebrated landscape painter of his age, Monet dedicated his life to capturing the subtleties of the natural world.
Ralph Skea explores Monet's depictions of trees across more than seventy works, including finished oil paintings and more fleeting sketches in oil, pastel, and pencil.The book is divided into five main chapters, each focusing on a different theme:
