Expert interview on Claude Monet : $14.95
Cyril Peguy interviewed Pascal Bonafoux right after he published "Monet." Mr. Bonafoux is a well-known art historian (he is even in wikipedia right here!).
I learned a lot in this interview. Monet lived at the right time : photography, tubes of paint, and a new market for art made his career possible. And don't forget Paul Durand-Ruel, the faithful art dealer whose extended Monet credit for years before discovering how to sell impressionist paintings to American collectors!
Worried that your French might not be good enough? Order anyway: it's only $14,95 and there is a 30-day "no questions" money back guarantee. I'll refund your money and you can still keep the booklet for some day down the road when your French is good enough.
