The first major monographic publication in English on the work of Blanche Hoschedé-Monet (1865-1947), the step-daughter, and later, daughter-in-law, of Claude Monet.

Accompanying an eponymous travelling exhibition, Blanche Hoschedé-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 Hoschedé-Monet's art and life through a variety of viewpoints. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, including Blanche's sketchbook, and new photography of Hoschedé-Monet's largely unknown artworks, this new book constitutes a definitive account of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 Hoschedé, the only one of the Hoschedé or Monet children to pursue painting.

SELLING POINTS: .

Significant publication serves as a spring board for future research on women artists at Giverny who have been understudied. .

Jean-Pierre Hoschedé wrote of his sister in 1961 that she was an artist who painted not in the shadow, but in the light of Claude Monet. .

Richly illustrated, this new volume recovers both her accomplishments as an artist, and her wider role in developing the legacy of the artistic community in Giverny, and its lasting allure to this day. .

Contributor Philippe Piguet is an independent art historian, curator and film director, a descendent of the artist, and the leading authority on her life and art.
