About This Book
Linnea, a fresh-faced European girl with a mop of black hair and a white smock,
gives a solid lesson in art history in the gentlest way, through a first-person
account. Her story is like a scrapbook, reliving a trip she took to Paris and
Giverny to learn about Monet's water-lily paintings. Airy, light-filled
watercolors showing Linnea in Monet's environment are juxtaposed with period
photographs of the artist and reproductions of the paintings themselves. The
focus is always on the specific. Monet's brushstrokes are examined (Linnea terms
them "splotchy"). A section is devoted to expressionism: "Even stone walls could
shimmer sometimes." Also included are Monet's biography, a family tree and a
brief guide to Paris. But, it is the sense of being there, and Linnea's own
enthusiasm, that carries the book.
