Product Information
A fresh look at Monet's most enduring motif and his search to capture the luminosity of floating. This text explores the making of the water garden at Giverny, how Monet was influenced by the Japanese aesthetic, and how the pond became a source of inspiration for hundreds of studies and paintings. Vivian Russell's photographs of water lilies, in close-up and in the pond, capture on film the way they appear to float on clouds and on undulating rushes, reflecting the quality that Monet sought in his paintings - the emotional and physical experience of being by the pond . Russell's poems aim to shed light on the endlessly changing moods of the lily pond.Product Identifiers
