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.
