The Garden of Monsieur Monet Details
Review "This import is a refreshing graphic-novel-inflected collaboration by two living artists about a third... The spare text is well-paced with carefully selected details. Illustrations feature strong, black graphic lines and wonderful flat expanses of color that echo the Japanese prints that inspired the impressionists. The real star here is the garden. Ascari and Valentinis help readers see Monet's vision and watch the garden develop and grow... A handsome, appealing, informative look at an artist who continues to fascinate." (Kirkus) Read more About the Author Giancarlo Ascari (aka Elfo) is a cartoonist and journalist who has illustrated and written for major Italian newspapers and magazines and is the author of several graphic novels.Pia Valentinis is an Italian author and illustrator and a winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration.
