Description: "This illustrated volume examines the lines of influence leading from Monet to the great modern exponents of Abstract Expressionism. The book emphasizes the innovative aspects of Monet's late works, including his famous waterlily paintings and Rouen Cathedral series. His paintings are juxtaposed with those of 30 modern artists, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, and Ellsworth Kelly." "The ground-breaking importance of Monet's late work was long underestimated by avant-garde artists of the early 20th century. For them Cezanne was the father of modern art. It was only in the 1950s that the Abstract Expressionists in America and Europe began to recognize and build upon Monet's achievements. This fascinating volume provides fresh insight into the works of Monet and the followers of Abstract Expressionism in its various American and European manifestations."--Jacket.
