His depiction of iconic motifs such as the Japanese footbridge, water lilies, and wisterias are characterized by subtle colouring and expressive brushwork, making these paintings among the most innovative of late 19th and early 20th-century French art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonet in Giverny: Landscapes of Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e takes reflection in all of its meanings as the governing theme: as a literal motif as well as a metaphor for both Monet's experimentation and a reflection of his own theories on art.

A firsthand account of the garden, written in 1891 by French author and art critic Octave Mirbeau has been translated for this book by author Benedict Leca. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeatures 12 famous paintings from Allen Memorial Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Dayton Art Institute, the Denver Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art,\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenedict Leca is curator of European Painting, Sculpture, and Drawings at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
