About This Item
New York: Laynfaroh, 2005. Hardcover. VG (Few marks from previous gallery owner; SIGNED BY AUTHOR on tp.). Hot coral buckram, gilt letters on spine, pictorial dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 304 pp., profusely illus., chiefly in color. WOW! The most stunning volume about the Orientalist artists that we know of. "Explores the richest era of fascination -- the late 19th century, when artists from American and every country in Europe traveled throughout the Orient, painting its cities and people. Many of these regions had only recently become accessible to the West. The first in, the first to see -- these "Orientalists" created a rich body of work portraying a world that was rapidly changing." (dj) Text is augmented by more than 300 illustrations: artwork, historical views, and more contemporary photographs. A treasure, to be sure.
