Paris: Librairie Gibert Jeune. 1973. Hard Cover. 27 pages, 48 tipped in color plates, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. On early French painting. Titre original: Korai Francia Festeszet (Corvina Kiado, Budapest, 1973). Dans l'immense eventail de l'art francais, la peinture gothique a donne des oeuvres qui ne sont peut-etre pas les pius belles, mais incontestablement les plus delicieuses. La peinture gothique est nee an France. Ses chefs-d'oeuvre sont, pour tous, les vitraux lumineux des merveilleuses cathedrals, de Chartres, de Notre-Dame de Paris, ou ceux de la Sainte-Chapelle, mais peu nombreux sont ceux qui savent qu'elle s'est epanoule sussi dans les parchemins des manuscrits, au temps de saint Louis, au debut du XIII siecle. L'etude d'Edit Lajta, historian d'art, decedee recemment, fournit des informations interessantes et utilles sur cet epanouissement etale sur trois siecles. Tout d'abord, elle definit la place et l'importance des peintures sur bois par des examples tantot d'un raffinement minutieux (Malouel, Bellechose), tantot d'une beaute plus vigoureuse (Fourquet). Elle offre une analyse poussee de la miniature et presente, entre autres, une des plus admirables oeuvres de l'art universal, les Tres Riches Heures du duc de Berry, ou les auteurs, les freres Limbourg, se sont attaches a reproduire, avec un art merveilleux, une elegrance raffinee et une profonde connaissance du trace et des couleurs, le monde chevaleresque a la veille de son delin. La tapisserie occupa aussi dans les arts une place preponderante. Nous en avons un magnifique example avec la Dame a la licorne. Le nom de Francois Clouet clot cette marveilleuse lignees des primitifs francais. Il marque la fin du gothique et le debut de la Renaissance, qui bouleversera a son tour l'Europe entiere. 48 planches en couleur. . more information

Hallmark Cards. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1961. Hard Cover. 93 pages, 33 tipped in color plates, cloth, dj, very good. 9-1/2 by 11 inches. From the publisher: "This book does more than bring together a series of particularly charming pictures. It is a carefully planned, consistently developed study of thirty-two masterpieces from Rembrandt to Renoir, both figure paintings and still lifes, in which a letter is the keynote of the composition. The choice of illustrations has been strictly confined to works of the highest quality, all of them reproduced in full color. Together they form a harmonious and coherent whole, vividly reflecting the spirit of the letter in painting from the 17th to the 20th century. The theme is bound up with the development of letter writing as both a social obligation and a literary form, with the roise of the modern postal system, and with the daily life and recreations of a leisure class whose friendships, love affairs and exchanges of ideas were often carried on by correspondence." . more information

London: John Lane. Very Good. 1896. Second Edition. Hardcover. Illustrated by Charles Robinson. 177, [3] pages, illustrations, cloth, very good. Second edition. From The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales: "Charles Robinson, (1870-1937) , British illustrator, son of Thomas Robinson who was an artist and engraver; along with his two brothers William Heath Robinson and Thomas Heath Robinson, he worked in the Arts and Crafts tradition. In 1899 he and his brothers illustrated Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen for Dent. Before that he had already illustrated Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses and Aesop's Fables. In the same year, he also drew illustrations for Charles Perrault's Tales of Past Times, and in 1900-2 Dent published a three-volume set, The True Annals of Fairy-Land, edited by William Canton with Charles Robinson's illustrations. In 1908 he illustrated Evelyn Martinengo Cesaresco's The Fairies' Fountain, and Other Stories and another two-volume True Annals of Fairyland in the Reign of King Cole for Dent in 1909. Two particular fairy-tale books appeared in 1910 and 1913: the first, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimms' Grimms' Fairy Tales, and the second, Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince, and Other Tales. Largely self-taught, he was apprenticed as a lithographic artist and was dedicated to the ideal of the book beautiful, an ideal which encompassed the text, layout, illustrations, and cover. He worked primarily in black and white and watercolour, and was one of the first to integrate the text with illustration. According to Tessa Chester and Irene Whalley, his work was characteristic of the Art Nouveau period with its 'interweaving, curving line, the solid black areas relieved by white, and the careful use of stylised pattern'. His works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and he was a lifelong member of the London Sketch Club. Altogether, he illustrated over 100 books, one of the last of which was Granny's Book of Fairy Stories (1930). "; 177 pages . more information

From the publisher: In the summer of 1933, as a young bride just out from England, Winifred Marsh arrived at Eskimo Point on the western shore of Hudson Bay, one of the first white women to live in the Arctic north of Churchill. Her husband, Donald Marsh, had been living there already for seven years as an Anglican missionary to the Caribou Eskimo. He was subsequently to become Anglican bishop of the Arctic. Winifred Marsh is a trained and highly professional artist. During her years in the Arctic she applied her outstanding talents as a watercolourist to making an intimate and detailed record of the landscape and way of life that she found at Eskimo Point. The paintings reproduced in her book are a unique and beautiful archive of a world that has since disappeared. In them the people, their homes, their children, their hunting and fishing, their migrations, their dances and costumes, and their family life are all portrayed with the sympathy and sensitivity of one who loved the Inuit and for whom this record was both an expression of that love and an act of Christian devotion. . more information

From the website of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Anna Matilda (nee. McNeill) Whistler (September 27, 1804 in Wilmington, North Carolina - January 3, 1881 in London) is the subject of Whistler's Mother. She was the daughter of Dr. Daniel McNeill, a physician, and Martha Kingsley McNeill. She later married George Washington Whistler, a widower who had three children. She gave birth to two sons, James McNeill Whistler and William Whistler. Her husband soon accepted a job in Russia as a railway engineer between Moscow and St. Petersburg. She had a son named Kirkie whom died age 4. A son named Charlie also died before Anna had moved to Russia. When James was nine, his art brought the attention of Scottish painter Sir William Allen. Anna then enrolled James in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts at St. Petersburg. Her husband died in 1849 from cholera. Anna returned to the United States, to live in Connecticut. Her daughter remained in England after marrying a surgeon. It was then the family lived in poverty but her daughter helped William and James attend private school. James entered West Point just before his 17th birthday and was expelled soon after. Her son William became a surgeon in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. In 1863, at the advice of her stepdaughter and son, she moved to England, moving in with her son in London. She was surprised by his "flamboyant Bohemian lifestyle"; however, she tolerated it, and befriended some of his friends as well. This was around the time the famous painting was made, although it was not the only one. Anna was 67 during the painting of the picture." . more information

From the foreword: "For several years the Staff and Committee of the Museum of Fine Arts had considered the possibility of holding an important and inclusive loan exhibition of Medieval Art. A year ago it was determined to hold the Exhibition early in 1940 and plans were laid accordingly. With the outbreak of the war, however, these plans had to be reconsidered. The original intention was to borrow important pieces form Europe as well as from collections in the United States. Obviously, the outbreak of war made the obtaining of works from Europe an impossibility and the authorities seriously considered abandoning the whole scheme. After deliberation, however, it was decided that America was rich enough in Medieval material to make a very important exhibition possible, provided institutions and private owners could be moved to send their things liberally to the Museum. Rather than accept defeat, therefore, the Museum decided to go ahead with its plan and hold the Exhibition. The response from sister institutions and interested collectors was inspiring. The present Exhibition is the result. . more information

From The Website Of Neue Pinakothek: "Fritz von Uhde (1848 - 1911) Born on May 22, 1848 in Wolkenburg (Saxony) and died on February 25, 1911 in Munich. - After a disappointing year of studies at the Academy in Dresden, Uhde joined the Guards regiment in 1867; in 1868 he was promoted to Lieutenant. After making the acquaintance of Hans Makart in Vienna in 1876 he left military service in order to dedicate himself to painting. After he was refused an apprenticeship with Carl Theodor von Piloty, Wilhelm Lindenschmit and Wilhelm von Diez he relocated to Paris in 1879 and worked in the studio of Mihály von Munkácsy. In 1880 he returned to Munich where he had close contact with Max Liebermann under whose influence he developed his naturalistic-impressionistic style. In 1892 he belonged to the group of founders of the Munich Secession. Along with Liebermann, Lovis Corinth and Max Slevogt, Uhde is considered to be one of the most important German Impressionists. With his religious paintings he created realistic redemptive scenes with present-day focus." . more information
