New York: Oxford University Press; Oxford History of Art Series, 1997. 320 pages, illustrations (some colour), colour map; 25 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear. "In an era of unprecedented change--rapid urbanization, economic growth, and political revolution--European artists from 1700-1830 were in the business of finding new ways of making, selling, and talking about art. Matthew Craske creates a totally new and vivid record of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century art in Europe, taking a critical view of such conventional categories as the 'rococo,' the 'neo-classical,' and the 'romantic.' He goes on to explore crucial thematic issues, such as changes in 'taste' and manners, and the impact of enlightenment notions of progress, and at the same time goes well beyond the usual geographic limits of surveys to include St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, Warsaw, and Madrid. The result is a refreshingly holistic text which sets the art of the… Read More

New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, 1970. Cloth, 264 pages, chiefly illustrations (some colour); 23 cm. Panorama of World Art Series. First published under title: Kreta und Hellas. Translated from the German. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. First U.S. Edition. Dust jacket, toned, protected in a mylar book cover. "Although the period treated in this book is conveniently labeled 'the nineteenth century,' the strict chronological delimitations of the title should not be taken too literally. Dr. Schultze's study begins around the time of the French Revolution of 1789--a watershed of fundamental significance in every field of human activity--and ends in the early years of the present century. Between these limits, the period is shown to be one of constant change and innovation in the artistic field, reflecting to a large extent the social, political, and industrial revolutions with which nineteenth-century Europe was so preoccupied. The speed and frequency… Read More

Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Press, 1990. Cloth, xiv, 313 pages, illustrations (some colour); 27 cm.

Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "In the years between 1830 and 1848, the period know as the July Monarchy, French art underwent the major transformation from romanticism to realism. Yet, because of their transitional nature, the works of this period have often been ignored by art historians. By avoiding a concentration on either a single artist or a single ism, the book illuminates this 18 year period." - Publisher. CONTENTS: An introduction to the history, by Robert J. Bezucha; An introduction to the art, by Michael Paul Driskel; Historical subjects, by Patricia… Read More
