review:
'Monet: Itinerant of Light' with words and art by Salva Rubio is a graphic novel about the father of impressionism.

The life of Monet is told by him in this graphic novel adaptation of his life. From the fellow painters who would be his friends through life to the showing of their paintings at the Salon of the Rejected, this follows his pursuit of capturing real light by painting outside. His family life, and extreme poverty is covered as well as his eventual success.

Sharp-eyed readers will notice that illustrations work in some famous paintings by Monet and his contemporaries. For those that may miss some of them, like I did, the book points them out at the end.

I liked this version of a graphic novel biography and the art is really quite good.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing, Papercutz, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
