Claude Monet
An Exhibition of Paintings
Arts Council of Great Britain / Tate Gallery, 1957
An original exhibition catalogue published for the major Claude Monet exhibition organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain in association with the Edinburgh Festival Society and presented at the Tate Gallery, London, from 26 September to 3 November 1957.
The exhibition brought together an important survey of Monet’s paintings and formed part of a significant post-war reassessment of the artist’s work in Britain.
The catalogue includes a foreword by Philip James, an essay on Monet by Douglas Cooper, a biographical chronology associated with John Richardson, and illustrated plates documenting works included in the exhibition.
A distinctive piece of British museum and exhibition history, published almost seventy years ago and retaining its original illustrated wrappers.
