简介
波士顿美术博物馆拥有法国以外最大的克劳德·莫奈（Claude Monet，1840–1926）作品收藏之一。本书收录了该馆永久收藏的全部35幅莫奈油画，几乎涵盖了他漫长的整个职业生涯。书中的引言简述了莫奈生前在波士顿获得的赞誉，并对每幅画作进行了介绍，概述了其生平与艺术历程。书中呈现了莫奈对水面、光线和色彩的持久迷恋——从1870年代的早期外光画作品，到其旅居国外时期创作的《威尼斯大运河》（1908），无不体现了他运用鲜艳色彩和丰富笔触的非凡效果。书中一个专门章节聚焦莫奈对日本艺术与文化的终生热爱，以《穿日本和服的卡米尔·莫奈》（1876）为代表；另一章节则以其1875年的《白杨树间的草地》为核心，描绘了罂粟花、白杨树和麦垛，预示了这些主题在他此后数十年绘画中的反复出现。

Full-page reproductions of paintings spanning Monet‘s career and styles, from one of the largest Monet collections outside France. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, boasts one of the largest collections of the celebrated impressionist artist Claude Monet’s work outside France. This book reproduces all 35 oil paintings by Monet in the MFA‘s permanent collection, representing nearly the full span of Monet’s long career. An introductory essay presents a brief account of his acclaim in Boston during his lifetime, and entries for the 35 paintings provide an overview of his life and work. Early plein-air compositions from the 1870s, as well as Grand Canal, Venice (1908), a later example inspired by his travels abroad, mark his enduring fascination with watery surfaces, utilizing vivid color and varied brushwork to dazzling effect. A grouping of works related to his life-long appreciation for Japanese art and culture is anchored by La Japonaise (Camille Monet in Japanese Costume) (1876), a full-length portrayal of his wife Camille in a lavishly embroidered kimono. His 1875 composition Meadow with Poplars inspires another section, as its depiction of poppies, poplar trees and grain stacks foreshadows the recurrence of these themes in his painting throughout the decades to follow.
