Abradale Press/Harry N Abrams, Inc, 1983. Hardcover. "This book is an hommage to Monet, providing a more complete perspective on his work than any previous study. In more than 125 color and nearly 240 duotone reproductions Monet's art is freshly examined; the familiar and treasured pictures are here, but there are scores of new images - including some 50 never before seen in color - gathered from private collections, dealer archives, and museums throughout Europe and the United States. They have been assembled by Robert Gordon, who has spent some ten years in teh quest. The purpose of this extraordinary collection is to fully explore the painting problems that Monet confronted throughout his life, problems which changed with each new motif, subject, or theme that he chose. They are the eternal problems of the painter - light, color, composition, structure - but the solutions were Monet's own" (jacket).
