Or is it a subjective expression of the artist's unique way of perceiving things? How can artists create a movement without conformity extinguishing individuality? Harmon Siegel reveals how Monet explored problems like these in concrete, practical ways while painting alongside his teachers, Eug鈩e Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind; his friends, Fr馘駻ic Bazille and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; and his hero, ﾉdouard Manet. At a time of major cultural upheavals, these artists asked how we can know reality beyond our personal perception. Siegel provides new insights into the aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical stakes for these painters as they responded to a rapidly changing society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated, \u003ci\u003ePainting with Monet\u003c\/i\u003e sheds critical light on how Monet and his fellow impressionists, painting side by side, professed their capacity to know the world and affirmed their belief in what Siegel calls the reality of others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harmon Siegel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691257434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691257433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Harmon Siegel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829467214079,"sku":"9780691257433","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8732c2b-fe3a-4e6f-bcb4-b0b5a3d30b37.jpg?v=1708450883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/painting-with-monet-harmon-siegel-9780691257433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
