Monet: Itinerant Of Light

Monet: Itinerant Of Light by Salva Rubio, illustrated by Efa 111 pgs.

A beautifully illustrated graphic novel that covers much of the life and times of Monet.  He spent much of his life struggling and in poverty.  He bounced around on loans from a variety of people and an occasional benefactor. He had a hard time feeding his kids but he never considered trying something else to make money. He knew he was a painter and nothing else.  The art here is full of Easter eggs of famous paintings that weave into the story.  Lovely.
