Bowen, Marjorie
William Hogarth: The Cockney's Mirror
Publisher: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1936 London.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "This volume is the result of years of study and of the author's admiration for the genius of William Hogarth; it is offered as a tribute to one of the greatest English painters, in the hope that it may prove of some interest both to those who are well acquainted with this artist and his period and to those to whom nothing but his name and a few of his more famous works are familiar; if much attention is given to the background of the subject, it is because it is felt that a full understanding and appreciation of the artist's work cannot be arrived at without a fair knowledge of eighteenth century London. This study, for the sake of clarity and a continuous narrative, is divided into four parts; the first gives the background of William Hogarth's life and pictures, the second recounts his career and character and his attitude to his own genius, the third give the stories, actors (real or imagined) of the principal pictures and prints, and the fourth describes and analyses the work from the point of view of aesthetics.." 33 illustrations. xii + 340 pages with index. Book is in GOOD or better condition; expected wear. No dust jacket.

Cowles, Fleur
The Case of Salvador Dali
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company, 1959 Boston, MA.
Book. Book condition: Fair to Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall First American Edition (stated). "No man has lived a private life more publicly than Salvador Dali, and yet no man is less crystallized. No man has told more and convinced less. And no man requires a more unconventional attempt to deal with that score..I have merely tried to give, in this first serious appraisal of Dali, an unbiased (and I hope readable) sequence to the massive reference library of stunts, anecdotes, confessions, scandals, practical jokes, paintings, and other talents - and to rearrange the whole mass of legends by which the press, art historians, and Dali's friends have sought to describe him up to now. I have sieved and sieved the attempts by which Dali himself regularly strips the veil of secrecy from his own life.." Illustrated. xvi + 334 pages with index. Book is in FAIR to GOOD condition. Some wear and discoloration to cover and slight discoloration to pages; binding tight; text pages clean. No dust jacket.

Haak, Bob
Rembrandt: His Life, His Work, His Time
Publisher: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1969 New York.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Good to Very Good. Hardcover Folio - over 12 - 15" tall "There would seem to be little more to say about Rembrandt that has not already been said in innumerable books, articles, and motion pictures on his life and art. And yet, it is precisely in this respect that this splendid volume distinguishes itself. Published in the tercentenary year of Rembrandt's death, it comes as a current of fresh air. Few great artists have suffered so much at the hands of romancers, and seldom have scholars been so cavalie3r in the treatment of facts. There emerges, in this book, a Rembrandt who is human, fallible, majestic - a man who is human, fallible, majestic - a man who went through all the common vicissitudes of life and yet was determined to remain true to himself as an artist. We see him here as a man capable of mean and callous acts; as a man who knew how to drive a hard bargain; as a man of strong but normal appetites (and this book is surely the best account of his relationships with the three women who were important to him: Saskia, Geertje, and Hendrickje). He was not a pious man, but he was deeply imbued with a religious sense. To the end, as an artist, he was driven by his own insights, and though this left him impoverished, he rejected the assured rewards of conformity with changing fashions in art. Many of the standard Rembrandt myths are exposed here. Now we may have a clear picture of how it was to live in Amsterdam in the seventeenth century; what an artist's life was like; what was the relation of master to apprentice; how pictures were bought, sold, and commissioned. We see that Rembrandt's art was more than a 'searching realism, ' and that he did not hesitate to invent, symbolize, or copy. We learn that he was always a commanding presence in Dutch art, even when lesser men surpassed him in popularity and market value. And we are reminded again that later critics and artists often found his work 'tasteless, ' 'undisciplined, ' and 'clumsy.' The author, Bob Haak, former curator at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and now curator-in-chief of the Historical Museum of Amsterdam, is one of the leading younger authorities on Rembrandt, and years of dedicated research have gone into the creation of this book. Mr. Haak privileges the reader with a lively account of The Golden Age of The Netherlands: the military triumphs on land and sea, the architectural and literary flowering, the growth of the democratic process, and the financial wizardry of the Dutch. BGut all of this is background to the central theme: Rembrandt and his art. Every aspect of this art is beautifully illustrated, and Rembrandt's touch is conveyed through the paintings and enlarged details from them, from the many stages of his etchings, and from the near-facsimile reproductions of his astonishingly free drawings. The book is an inspiration, for it shows that one of the rarest of geniuses still walked like a man." 612 illustrations, including 109 hand-tip

Book. Book condition: Good. Good. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall George Eastman House Monograph Number II. Published for members of The George Eastman House. "Seldom has an artist written about his life and his art as vividly, as intimately and as sensitively as did Edward Weston. Day after day, for more than fifteen years, this great photographer wrote down his thoughts about life, outlined his hopes, catalogued his despairs, mercilessly criticized his photographs, and recorded every experience which moved him. The result is an extraordinary document of the struggle of an artist to forge a style, to adjust himself to the world, to determine his position in society, and to appraise his contribution to it.. Weston arrived in Mexico at the height of that flowering of the arts which has been called the Mexican Renaissance. His contribution was immediately hailed and he was proud to be a part of the artistic world of Mexico. He shared the delight of his friends in discovering the beauty of folk art and the ancient pre-conquest relics. He became an aficionado of the bull ring. He learned the language. Yet he was constantly in reaction against Mexico. The background of political and social unrest made him feel uneasy. He never could identify himself with the country. The Daybooks contain not only the self analysis of an artist and a revealing commentary on photography; they illuminate Mexican society and culture of the 1920s." Illustrated with black and white plates of photographs by Weston. xv + 214 pages with index. Book is in GOOD condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition.
