To get a sense of the kind of prestige that Claude Monet enjoys within the art world, one need only learn that his Le Bassin Aux Nympheás (1919) - from his series of paintings featuring water lilies - sold for the equivalent of more than $70 million. This is a staggering price, especially considering that early in his life, Monet had been so poor and debt-ridden that some of his paintings were taken from him by creditors.

Poor reading
Revisado: 04-05-18
The reading is oddly rough and rushed and the pronunciation of the names of French locations, artists and paintings is beyond atrocious, often beyond recognition. This is a problem in many Audible books, but especially bad in this one and one on realism in art that I started to listen to. Narrators should be more familiar with the people and places in the books they narrate.

Black and white photography is considered by some to be more difficult than color photography, simply because color ceases to be an element in the finished product. However, it is still an element to be considered while shooting, because color affects what greys, whites, and blacks you get as a result. Black and white can make your photos much simpler, pared down to the basics. This can make photographs appear more serious or scary, or even take away considerations of decade or century.

Great review of principles
Revisado: 04-04-18
This very brief book is a simple to understand and excellent review of artistic principles, not just applicable to black and white photography. The one objection to the narration is that chiaroscuro should be pronounced with a long “o” at the end, not like the vowel in the word “do”. Chiaroscuro is also a subject worthy of more description and explanation. Perhaps another short book by this author?

A Brilliant Book
Revisado: 05-25-17
The book is fascinating while emotionally devastating. Cassandra Campbell's reading of it is superb. She breathes life into the characters to such a degree that I could not disentangle my emotions by saying that I am just listening to an author's imagined words. Listen to this amazing book, but be forewarned if you are emotionally vulnerable.
