A propos de cet article

Publisher's boards, pictorial dustjacket. Very fine. London, Tate Gallery, 1981. Oblong 4to. 208 pp. Illustrated with reproductions in colour and black & white. Richly illustrated scholarly catalogue of 44 works by Constable (including "Brightwell Church and Village" (1815), acquired while the catalogue was in the press), 5 doubtfully ascribed to Constable, and 4 formerly ascribed to him. Also describes 2 works by his son Lionel Bicknell Constable. - - - "The Tate Gallery houses the second largest collection of Constable's paintings in Britain, including a number of his most famous compositions: Flatford Mill', 'Chain Pier, Brighton', 'Hadleigh Castle', 'The GIebe Farm', 'The Valley Farm' and others. In this, the first detailed catalogue of the collection, special attention has been paid to relating the Tate works to the artist's other treatments of the same subjects, many of which are also illustrated in the entries. The volume therefore acts as a guide to whole areas of Constable's art and not only to the Tate Gallery collection. Works formerly attributed to Constable are also catalogued in full, as are two items recently re-attributed to his son Lionel. All the principal subjects are reproduced in full-page colour and there are 130 black and white illustrations in the text. Leslie Parris is Deputy Keeper of the British Collection at the Tate Gallery and was one of the organisers of the Constable bicentenary exhibition held at the Gallery in 1976.".
