Light, Shadow, and Reflection: MonetWhile interest usually lies only on the early and late work of Claude Monet, this catalogue, containing more than 50 works of art, traces the development of Monet's art between 1880 and the beginning of the 20th century.
Accompanied by texts by well-known art historians, the reader is invited to follow Monet's unusual treatment of reflections and shadows in his paintings. It allowed him to break loose from the modalities of representational logic and the pictorial object. And they made room for an aesthetic that helped to do justice to perception itself and to enforce a painting's self-reflexive momentum.
