Accompanying an eponymous exhibition, Blanche Hoschede-Monet 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 long-term collaboration between French and American scholars. Across four essays, the authors approach Hoschede-Monet's art and life through a variety of viewpoints. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, including Blanche's sketchbook, and new photography of Hoschede-Monet's largely unknown artworks, this new book constitutes a definitive account of her life and art.
The volume brings together approximately forty-six paintings from both French and American public and private collections, the vast majority of which have never been on seen in the United States. Three paintings by Claude Monet- Le Bassin d'Argenteuil (1874), Cliff Walk at Pourville (1882), and Morning on the Seine, Giverny (1897) illustrate points of comparison and divergence between Claude Monet and Blanche Hoschede, the only one of the Hoschede or Monet children to pursue painting.
