Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) is the most masterly of British painters. His work exploits the great traditions of European painting, while anticipating the development of modern art in the twentieth century. As a Romantic, he was from his earliest works sensitive to the dramas found in land and seascapes, though increasingly light and colour alone became all-important to him. He travelled through England, France, Italy and Switzerland, and his views are possibly the most imaginative evocations of these countries ever painted.The essay by William Gaunt, an acknowledged authority on British art who died in 1980, was originally published in 1971. Notes to the plates and many black-and-white illustrations were added in 1981, making this the perfect introduction to one of the greatest British masters.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) is rightly one of the best known of all nineteenth-century French artists. He conveys with a unique flair the glitter and glamour of Parisian nightlife, and at the same time lays bare its artificiality.Crippled and stunted form childhood by two falls that broke his thighs, he was forever isolated from society by his deformity. His response was to immerse himself in the dross of society. He threw himself into the capitalsdemi-mondeand chose to portray the more trivial if vital subjects: actresses, clowns, dancers, brothels, race-tracks. He also, finally, turned to alcohol, which caused his collapse and death.Yet his spirit remained surprisingly unscathed, as did the enormous richness of this talent. At first influenced by the Impressionists he particularly admired Degas he produced classics in many media: oil paintings, posters, lithographs and drawings, a selection of which are here reproduced in 48 full-colour plates, forming an ideal introduction to this most spontaneous of artists.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sexual instinct, feeling of death, physical notion of the enigma of space. these, according to Salvador Dali, are the great vital constants that make up the vocabulary of the language of the unconscious the language of the Surrealist painters. Dealing with the fundamentals of human existence, the Surrealists tried to create an art that is universal in its significance, speaking directly to the spectators deepest instincts.Their painting developed in two directions: Ernst, Magritte and Dali reintroduced the powerful figurative imagery which had been largely missing since the revolution of Fauvism and Cubism; their art was also a revolt against the rationalism of abstract art. Miro, Masson and Matta, on the other hand, pursued the idea of automatism, painting out their inner impulses in spontaneous improvisation.In this survey of the Surrealist movement, the author presents a wide cross-section of its finest works, with an extended introduction and detailed commentaries on each of the 48 full-colour plates.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-28) stands as one of England's most important and prolific landscape artists, ranking alongside Turner and Constable as a prime exponent of the English Romantic Movement. His watercolour paintings are considered to be exemplary of the English tradition. Bonington's reputation for poetic and topographical landscapes - as well as for dash and brilliance - earned him a renown that spanned Europe, but which has mysteriously dimmed with the years. This timely and unique assessment of Bonington will once again establish an appreciation of his work as a peerless artist. The author has looked closely at Bonington's short yet precocious life: an English upbringing, emigration to France at fifteen, training under Francia and Gros, all factors which allow his work to transcend a purely national school. Although he painted in Venice in 1826, and on two trips to England in 1825 an 1827, many of his principal paintings - much admired by Delacroix and Corot - were done in Normandy and on the French coast. Delacroix was fascinated also by the watercolours of historical subjects that Bonington painted, stating that they 'possessed the lightness of execution which makes his works diamonds by which the eye is enticed and charmed'. This book manifestly confirms such praise. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
