About This Item
Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, 1962 4to (28.5 cm), 232 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly frayed at extremities, tears with loss at the head and at corners, cloth somewhat dusted, tipped in bookplate). From the introduction: "This exhibition is to show, primarily, what major artists of Western Europe and the United States have contributed in book during the last hundred, and especially, the last sixty 'explosive' years. The main purpose of the exhibition is to demonstrate to the English-speaking world that during the last century the book has, in fact, become a major vehicle of artistic expression: that it is one in which the artist is not necessary secondary to the author, but it is often and rightly his equal." The catalogue is arranged alphabetically by artist, providing a comprehensive overview of each contributor's works. Following the artist listings, a bibliography offers additional resources. Indexes of authors, publishers, and printers are included, facilitating easy navigation and reference within the catalogue.
