In Monet's Garden by Charles F Stuckey

In Monet's Garden by Charles F Stuckey

This sumptuously illustrated book examines the artistic legacy of Claude Monet and the lasting impact of his legendary gardens at Giverny, which continue to attract and inspire artists today. His American colleagues and the postwar artists who rediscovered the unique place first cultivated by Monet reveal a century-long lineage of artistic experimentation and creativity in the juxtaposition of Monet's paintings with interpretations of the gardens. His significance as a revolutionary modernist, highlighted by important works from the first two decades of the 20th century, has been honoured by recent generations of painters who have travelled to Giverny, working within the garden's walls. Included in the exhibition are key paintings Monet created during the years he lived in Giverny until his death there in 1927. Through painting, sculpture, photography and video, contemporary artists continue to reinterpret Giverny through diverse post-modern perspectives, and in so doing, celebrate the Impressionist master's vanguard spirit and his place in history.

Charles Stuckey and James Yood are Professors at the Department of Art History, Theory and Criticism, Art Institute of Chicago. With an introduction by Joe Houston, Melissa Wolfe and Dominique Vasseur of the Columbus Museum of Art.
