...from the late '80s on, Monet labored to take impressionism out of Paris and the immediate environs of the Seine. He painted all over the country. Tucker suggests that much of his work, seemingly without social content and often without people in it at all, is actually a long lyrical evocation of a timeless France, a rebuke to the political imbroglios and financial scandals that obsessed Paris.
