3 comments about Monet's Passion: Ideas, Inspiration and Insights from the Painter's Gardens.

1. Beautiful photographs of the gardens at all seasons. Plant lists. The author tells about the history of Giverny and her experiences as a gardener there. It would have been helpful to know which US zones the plants would be hardy in.



2. An easy read and visual feast, Monet's Passion exposes methods behind the color, texture, layout and scents of his magical gardens. It magnifies one's experience visiting the gardens or his works in galleries, and is a valuable companion to the painter's many works.



3. Elizabrth Murrray's books and art work are beautiful and inspiring. I am contributing these volumes to the public school of my grandchildren to accompany thier new school garden. She has a new book of art by children in Equador called Nantu Aujujae but I couldn't find it with your search, I wanted to include it with the other Elizabeth Murray books for the school. I hope you post it soon.

2 comments about The Unknown Monet: Pastels and Drawings (Clark Art Institute).

1. I received my book on Monet's pastels and drawings in EXCELLENT condition and in addition is a simply gorgeous book. I'm an artist history major and I had no idea that Monet drew with pastels.
   
   Thank you for the good price too!

2. This book, the catalogue for a travelling exhibition held in 2007, enables the reader to discover an often overlooked aspect of Monet's art. The drawings and, above all, the pastels shown and explained here demonstrate the artist's mastery of light and color better than his paintings, because they look fresher to us. Some are studies for actual paintings, and others are finished works in their own right. Also described are his many caricatures of the rich and famous of the time, which, to me, were a complete discovery.
   
   A very informative text and high quality reproductions, all contribute to make this book a valuable addition to the literature on the artist.

5 comments about A Picnic with Monet (Mini Masters).

1. Beautiful pictures, a peaceful read. Leave this one out on your coffee table; kids won't be the only ones who love it!



2. As an art lover I was so excited to see this book and the others in the series. This one is my favorite, not only because I LOVE Monet, but because the rhymes are well written and go great with the paintings!! This book is a great way to share your love of art with little ones. This is my favorite baby gift to give at showers!! My four year old still gets it out and asks about the paintings and we try to read it together!!!



3. We have all books from this series and all of them are amazing. Wonderful and simple poems (not child rhymes), and beautiful pictures. Lovely books for quite times with your child. It's really and excellent way to introduce art to your child.



4. The art is beautiful and the rhyming prose is well written and entertaining. This was our favorite book in the Mini Masters series.



5. Can't fault the art, it's a great way to introduce kids to Monet.
   
   And the text... well, I can take it or leave it. It sounds trite to my ears, though, so I prefer to leave it.
   
   The really bad part about these books is that they're cheaply made. I've had them fall apart on me while other books that we've had longer and that we read more often are in great shape.
   
   You can't have a poor-quality board book, it just doesn't work.
   
   I can't in good conscience recommend these books to anybody because of that.
