Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. Translated from the German by Russell Stockman. 4to bright red cloth. 420pp. Stunningly illustrated, one of the very best that Abrams produced, and that's saying a lot because their art books are sumptuous. General Bibliography. Artist Bibliographies. Index, Photo Credits. The art reproductions are brilliant & the "author's sparkling text" make this book a treasure for the mind & a visual bacchanalia. A big art book, but published in quarto rather than folio or oblong, it will rest in your lap easily for hours while you read & look at it. The author has a solid r?sum? as a scholar of the fine arts & as a museum director. Lovers of fine art are attracted, at one time or another, to one style or another of still life painting. This book comes as close to having "it all" as anything published on the subject. Sections: "The Legacy of Antiquity", "Precursors of the Autonomous Still Life", "The First Modern Still Lifes, Around 1600", "The Flowering of the Still Life: The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries", "The United States: Still Life as the Mirror of a Young Nation", "From the Early Nineteenth Century to the End of the First World War: the Triumph of the 'How' over the 'What'", "The Twentieth Century". Fine copy in dj. Both in highly collectible condition. Seller Inventory # 1003038
