A propos de cet article

Second Edition, first printing of this edition, translated by P "Illustrated with Designs". Color chart frontispiece with 3 other b&W design plates; one is a Chromatic Diagram, with moving part (and tipped in upside down). 12mo. binding as shown, with tooled border and gilt title on board and spine. Very minor bumps to edges and corners. Two small spots to front board. Lightest of wear at head and heel. A very nice copy.

His colour principles had a great influence on advanced art in Europe, particularly Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Orphism.…
