Hailed the "Prince of the Impressionists", <strong>Claude Monet </strong>(1840-1926) transformed expectations for the purpose of paint on canvas. Defying the precedent of centuries, Monet did not seek to render only reality, but <strong>the act of perception itself.</strong> Working "en plein air" with rapid, impetuous brush strokes, he interrogated the play of light on the hues, patterns, and contours and the way in which these visual impressions fall upon the eye.<br/><br/> Monet's interest in this space "between the motif and the artist" encompassed too the <strong>ephemeral nature </strong>of each image we see. In his beloved <strong>water lily series</strong>, as well as in paintings of <strong>poplars, grain stacks, </strong>and the<strong> Rouen cathedral</strong>, he returned to the same motif in different seasons, different weather conditions, and at different times of the day, to explore the constant mutability of our visual environment.<br/><br/> This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art.

A hairless, ghostly figure on a bridge. The sky orange-red above him. His hands raised to his ears, his mouth wide in a haunting wail. In painting <em>The Scream</em>, <strong>Edvard Munch</strong> (1863-1944) created <em>Mona Lisa</em> for our times. The shriek of his iconic figure reverberates around the world, its echo resounding in the work of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Marlene Dumas, and Tracey Emin.<br/><br/> This introductory book surveys <strong>Munch's staggering capacity for psychodrama </strong>in <em>The Scream</em> and beyond. With rich illustration, it looks at the lurid, dark, and deeply modern visions that made up the artist's response to relationships and emotions. These compelling images, regarded by the artist himself as a means of "free confession," remain as magnetic today as they were on the brink of modernism.
