Reviews

"Monet and His Muse is a highly original work of impeccable scholarship, not only because it provides the first thorough and penetrating psychobiographical portrait of the artist, but also because of its unusual focus on the profound role that the painter's first wife played in his life and art.... This book simply represents the crowning achievement of our country's best psychobiographer of figures in the visual arts." - Bradley I. Collins, Parsons, the New School for Design"
