Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. 256 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear, age toning. *** "The artistic stagnation of Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century was rudely shaken by the artists of the Secession. Their works at first shocked a conservative public; but their successive exhibitions, their magazine "Ver Sacrum", and their application to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. This book traces the course of this development, of the Wiener Werkstatte that followed, and the individual works of the artists concerned. Klimt, Olbrich, Loos and Hoffmann in architecture and applied arts. In other fields Mahler, Freud and Schnitzler were influencing the avant-garde. Peter Vergo quotes extensively from the writings of contemporary reviewers, critics and the artists themselves. He has eye-witness accounts of the exhibitions, the opening of the Secession building, the work in progress on the Palais Stoclet and Kabarett Fledermaus. The result is a documentary study of the successes and failures, hopes and fears of the members of an artistic movement which is still admired today." - Publisher. Size: 4to.…

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.; 4to; Clean and tight in original cloth binding in very nice dustjacket. Giovanni Antonio Canal (1697-1768), the painter extraordinaire of Venice who was known as Canaletto, is the subject of this exhibition catalog from a recent show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It brings together a wealth of paintings and drawings avidly collected in his day by the English aristocracy and, especially with regard to those assembled from the Royal Collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, generally unseen before in this country. The five short essays by noted authorities succeed in capturing many of the essentials of the artist, which are easily digested by the nonspecialist. The extensive catalog following the essays contains splendid color reproductions with descriptive text on each work covered. While the book may not change significantly what is known of Canaletto, it is the record of an important American museum show and of paintings that ought to be savored by a wide audience. A welcome addition to art book collections.…

Gombrich's classic The Story of Art, this volume surveys in detail the art of the twentieth century--a period covered briefly in Gombrich's closing chapters. [The author] discusses more than 250 key works and seeks to enable the reader to feel comfortable with modern art. He brings out the motives behind movements and trends, showing them to be serious attempts to make art honest and significant again after a century that many felt too often honored the hollow and pretentious. . . Pointing to continuities and echoes of more traditional elements within modern art, he sees no essential break or opposition between modern art and the art of the past". // Brown boards with brilliant gilt on spine.
