The first major monographic publication in English on the work of Blanche HoschedéMonet (18651947), the stepdaughter, and later, daughterinlaw, of Claude Monet.Accompanying an eponymous exhibition, Blanche HoschedéMonet in the Light is the first volume to introduce this important woman artist, whose life and work were shaped by the artistic community she helped build at Giverny, and is the result of a longterm collaboration between French and American scholars. Across four essays, the authors approach HoschedéMonet’s art and life through a variety of viewpoints. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, including Blanche’s sketchbook, and new photography of HoschedéMonet’s largely unknown artworks, this new book constitutes a definitive account of her life and art.The volume brings together approximately fortysix paintings from both French and American public and private collections, the vast majority of which have never been on seen in the United
