Monet or The Triumph of Impressionism Details

Review “This is the only readily available publication that gives a complete record of Monet’s work―in other words, it is definitive.” Read more About the Author Daniel Wildenstein (1917-2001) was an art historian and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (Paris). From 1939 onwards, he was Director of the Wildenstein Galleries of New York, London and Tokyo. He edited several international journals, e.g. the magazine Arts from 1956-1962 and the Gazette des Beaux-Arts after 1963. He co-founded the Fondation Wildenstein in 1970 (it was renamed the Wildenstein Institute in 1984), and was a prime mover in many exhibitions of international repute. Daniel Wildenstein also edited the catalogues raisonnés of various 18th, 19th and 20th century artists. He was a world authority on Impressionism, and published catalogues of the works of Gauguin, Manet and Monet. Read more

Reviews

This is a biography of his life with a lot of pictures, but not a lot of art criticism. You can learn when a picture was painted, where it was painted, how much it sold for, who it sold to, where it was sold, whether Monet had a good year that year, and so on, but very little about the impact of his art on his fellow painters, on the movement, and on Modern art. Somewhat disappointing.
