Bringing together the greatest paintings from his early career including his first Salon-exhibited work, the Kimbell Art Museum s "La Pointe de la Heve at Low Tide";" Dejeuner sur l Herbe (Luncheon on the Grass)" and "The Magpie "from the Musee d Orsay; and"The Green Wave"""and "La Grenouillere "from the Metropolitan Museum of Art it features essays by distinguished scholars, focusing on the evolution of Monet s own distinctive mode of painting. Through the 1860s, the young painter absorbed and transformed a variety of influences, from the lessons of the Barbizon school and his mentor Boudin to the challenges posed by his friends Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley. Artistic innovation and personal ambition shaped the work of the celebrated impressionist painter from the very start of his long and illustrious career."

"More than fifty of Gustave Caillebotte's (1848-1894) strongest paintings illustrate the fertile period from 1875 to 1885 when he was most closely allied with the impressionists. Accompanying the National Gallery of Art's major new exhibition, coorganized with the Kimbell Art Museum, this volume explores the inquisitive, experimental, almost fearless vision that inspired his masterworks"--
