Pictorial Wraps Paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. A bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, markings and discoloration with all text and illustrations clean/unmarked. Book published in conjunction with the 1999-2000 exhibition of the same name exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Tate Gallery St. Ives. "Alfred Wallis (1855-1942) and James Dixon (1887-1970) were both fishermen by trade who took up painting late in life and subsequently became two of the most interesting and original artits in the history of twentieth-century British and Irish art." PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full color photography of Wallis' and Dixon's paintings with accompanying descriptive captions. "Both artists were self-taught and their painting haa been described as 'primitive'. This book aims to open up this definition of their work, which has led to a limited analysis of the range and depth of their painting. Both artists explored a wide range of subject-matter, including seascapes, landscapes, religious imagery and portraits. They also developed striking and unique uses of paint and complex compositions within their work." 128 pages. LBCMA2.
