Over a century ago, a colony of American impressionist artists settled in Giverny near the house of Claude Monet. Giverny: An Impressionist Village explores this little known yet infinitely rich aspect of the history of Giverny which is at the source of the creation of the Musee d'Art Americain Giverny by the Terra Foundation of the Arts in 1992. At once a guide and a historical manual of the Americans artists colony, this book is organised around short essays which link an artist to a specifc site. It contains numerous illustrations of impressionist paintings, photographs and postcards from the late 19th century, as well as contemporary views of the village. Giverny: An Impressionist Village invites you to walk through Giverny and discover the life and work of American artists in the village at the turn of the last century.
