About This Item

In 1963, an Italian company gathered together the works of various artists and published them as a series called The Great Artists: A library of their lives, times and paintings.
In 1978, Funk & Wagnalls published them in the US.

Each book is the same: 10" x 14", high quality images and paper, an essay on the life of the artist, and then several color plates, most of which can be cut out and framed. There is a short paragraph about each painting as well.

I have Gainsborough, Vermeer, Whistler, and Monet, all listed here separately.

I bought them in 1978 but haven't opened them until just now. They are all in mint condition, save for a little bit of darkening to the edges of the covers only.

You can buy one or all--if you want more than one, message me.

The plates in this one are:

At the Piano
The Thames in Ice
Blue and Silver: The Blue Wave, Biarritz
Symphony in White No 1, The White Girl
Symphony in White No 2, The Little White Girl
Rose and Silver: La Princesse du Pays de La Porcelaine
Symphony in Gray and Green: The Ocean
Variations in Blue and Green
Harmony in Gray and Green: Miss Cicely Alexander
Nocturne in Blue and Gold: Old Battersea Bridge
Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket
Red and Gold Salute: Sunset
Harmony in Pink and Gray: Lady Meux
Green and Gold: A Shop in Calais
L'Echarpe Rose
Dorothy Seton, a Daughter of Eve
