This book on Claude Monet's Water Lilies, conceived by Pierre Georgel, the former director of the Musée de l'Orangerie, is the synthesis of this monumental work, the last of the painter's works, undoubtedly - because it is the culmination of a lifetime of research - the most interesting and, without doubt, the most accomplished.
From the very first series of paintings, in which the viewer's gaze takes in the entire pond, sometimes with the famous Japanese bridge, Monet's vision becomes more and more profound, gradually approaching the surface of the water and eventually capturing only extracts, all-overs that lead him to the very doors of abstraction.
