Title: Monet & Bazille
First published: 1999
Description: Monet & Bazille: A Collaboration is the first in-depth examination of the momentous relationship between Claude Monet and Frederic Bazille. From 1864 to 1870, before Monet fully developed the sparkling, spontaneous painting style for which he is best known, and before Bazille was killed in the Franco-Prussian War, the two struggled together to develop a new style of painting that became known as Impressionism.

No other publication has presented such a thorough look at this combative but extraordinarily fruitful collaboration, which was crucial to the birth of this dazzling and overwhelmingly popular artistic movement. The book includes superb colorplates as well as many details of the artists' finest works of this period.
