French Paintings and Drawings: Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow - Hardcover
This is the summary catalogue listing all the French drawings and paintings in the main collection of Glasgow's Kelvingrove art gallery. Aside from a few important early paintings, most of the work in the catalogue dates from the 19th and 20th centuries; those of you familiar with the collection will know that it includes works by Van Gogh, Bonnard, Monet, Matisse etc., Realist, Barbizon, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist work is represented, mainly oils but also pastel, watercolour and a few drawings. There are about 300 works represented here, with 88 colour illustrations; most of the works are shown in good size, though the colour reproduction quality is about on par with the galleries postcards, which isn't bad. This is certainly a nice and handy reference book to have and if you don`t know about this fine little collection, this is a good introduction to what Glasgow's galleries have to offer.

Book Description Cloth, 4to, 28 cm, 160 pp, plates, ills (many colour). From the blurb: - ".the city's collection of French paintings, housed in the main art gallery at Kelvingrove, is undoubtedly of international significance. The collection is particularly strong in paintings of the 19th and 20th centuries from the Realist, Barbizon, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist schools, but includes, too, a superb 15th-century work by the Master of Moulins, and fine 17th-century works by Vouet and Dughet. Every one of the French oil paintings, watercolours, drawings and pastels in Glasgow's collection at Kelvingrove is illustrated in this book. One hundred and twenty-two of the pictures are shown in black and white and include works by Daumier, Lhermitte, Simon and Monticelli, while 88 are in colour, including one of the city's two van Goghs, a superb portrait of Alexander Reid, one of the dealers who helped shape Glasgow's taste for French works. Among the many artists whose work is in the collection and also depicted in colour are Millet, Corot, Fantin-Latour, Seurat, Matisse, Derain, Monet, Gauguin, and Picasso. Each picture is accompanied by the artist's name and dates, the title of the painting and its date, if known, its size, and its provenance. There is also a subject index, and, for those with a more scholarly interest, a numerical index which relates each painting's current attribution to that in the three previous catalogues of French pictures."
