About This Item
London: Giles, 2012. Hardcover. VG/VG (minimal shelf wear to dust jacket, book is as new). Red paper with gilt spine lettering, brown & color illustrated dust jacket, 224 pp., profusely illustrated in color. Showcases attractive and accessible paintings of 19th and early 20th-Century interiors, with international interest.The go-to volume on the work of American painter Walter Gay (1856-1937), it will fill a yawning gulf in published scholarship on the artist. Presenting 70 works from public and private collections, this beautifully illustrated volume offers the opportunity to re-evaluate the American artist Walter Gay"s depiction of empty rooms, filled with furniture but with no human presence. Walter Gay was a highly accomplished artist, collector and tastemaker. He and his wife Matilda lived in Paris for much of their life and enjoyed a leading role in stylish society; many of the interiors that he painted, with their 18th-century French furnishings, were rooms in their own homes, or those of friends. Awarded a gold medal at the Paris Salon in 1888, it is the poetic rooms that form the basis of Gay"s legacy. Three essays explore his career, his reputation within the art market, his place in the history of American collecting; and the importance of interior decoration to Walter and Matilda Gay, along with the influence of leading contemporaries such as Edith Wharton. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Frick Art & Historical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, Oct. 6, 2012 - Jan. 6, 2013 and at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Palm Beach, FL, Jan. 29 - April 23, 2013.
