Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light Haley S. Pierce, Nicolas Bondenet, Nancy Mowll Mathews, Galina Olmsted ebook
The first major monographic publication in English on the work of Blanche Hoschedé-Monet (1865-1947), the step-daughter, and later, daughter-in-law, of Claude Monet. Accompanying an eponymous exhibition, Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light is the first volume to introduce this important woman artist, whose life and work were shaped by the artistic community she helped build at Giverny, and is the result of a long-term collaboration between French and American scholars. Across four essays, the authors approach Hoschedé-Monet’s art and life through a variety of viewpoints. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, including Blanche’s sketchbook, and new photography of Hoschedé-Monet’s largely unknown artworks, this new book constitutes a definitive account of her life and art. The volume brings together approximately forty-six paintings from both French and American public and private collections, the vast majority of which have never been on seen in the United States. Three paintings by Claude Monet— Le Bassin d’Argenteuil (1874), Cliff Walk at Pourville (1882), and Morning on the Seine, Giverny (1897) illustrate points of comparison and divergence between Claude Monet and Blanche Hoschedé, the only one of the Hoschedé or Monet children to pursue painting.
