Claude Monet (1840–1926) is one of the most well-known and beloved painters in art history, with many publications and exhibitions dedicated to his work. This edition focuses for the first time on Monet's pastels, drawings, and sketches, offering a revolutionary new interpretation of his life and work.

Monet has been considered an anti-draftsman, an artist who painted his subjects directly. In fact, Monet began his career as a caricaturist and developed a passion for painting that never faded. He mastered the medium of pastel and included seven of his works in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874.

"The Unknown Monet" reveals an extensive group of graphic works created during the artist's career, many of which are unknown to the public and scholars: beautiful pastels, striking black chalk drawings, and interesting sketches. The book also shows how Monet used print media to promote his art.

This significant edition on Monet is essential for anyone interested in his work, Impressionism, and 19th-century French culture.
