Passionate, prickly, edgy and unstable, her Monet, the unrecognizable Monet, is a powerful new character in art.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on thousands of never-before-translated letters and unpublished sources, this biography reveals dramatic new information about the life and work of one of the late nineteenth century's most important painters. Despite being mocked at the beginning of his career, and living hand to mouth, Monet risked all to pursue his vision, and his early work along the banks of the Seine in the 1860s and '70s would come to be revered as Impressionism. In the following decades, he emerged as its celebrated leader in one of the most exciting cultural moments in Paris, before withdrawing to his house and garden to paint the late \u003ci\u003eWater Lilies, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich were ignored during his lifetime and would later have a major influence on all twentieth-century painters both figurative and abstract. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first time we see the turbulent life of this volatile and voracious man, who was as obsessed by his love affairs as he was by nature. He changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the center of his life changed; Wullschläger brings these unknown, passionate, and passionately committed women to the foreground. Monet's closest friend was Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau; strong intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust, as well as to his friends Manet, Renoir, and Pissarro. Brilliant and absorbing, this biography will forever change our understanding of Monet's life and work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJACKIE WULLSCHLÄGER is Chief Art Critic of the \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
