Each entry comprises 2-3 pages of text, providing a short biography of the artist and enumerating his major works and accomplishments, as well as a full-page self-portrait. 512 pp. A LARGE-PAPER COPY ON JAPAN PAPER, and extremely rare as such. 4to. Bound in publisher's Japan-paper covered decorated boards. Minimal wear to extremities of binding, else FINE AND BRIGHT.
