Synopsis

Monet's garden at Giverny, which he created over 40 years, is now a Mecca for gardeners and has become one of the most visited gardens in the world. This beautiful new book shows the artist as a consummate plantsman who composed his gardens with an Impressionist's care for colour and form, later to re-interpret in paintings of beautiful abstraction. Drawing upon Monet's own voice and those of his contemporaries and offering a wealth of horticultural detail, this book provides fascinating insight into his obsessional love of gardening and painting.
