Beschreibung

37 pp + 30 tipped-in plates. Cloth-backed boards. Rubbed at extremities, a few small dings to top edge of boards, light staining to margin of one text page; very good, with no dust jacket. Laid in is a chatty personal note from Haskell to art critic and printmaker Arthur Millier and his wife, Francine. Text includes a tribute to Haskell by John Marin, an essay on Haskell and his work by Pousette-Dart, followed by a catalogue raisonne. "Ernest Haskell (1876-1925) was an American artist and illustrator, internationally famous in his lifetime and remembered for his etchings, as well as engravings, pen-and-ink drawings, lithographs and watercolors. He was a pioneer in the field of theatrical posters. He created many portraits and caricatures of luminaries of the day. During World War I he was commissioned by the United States Army to develop camouflage painting. Haskell's etchings and intaglio prints are considered by critics and scholars to be his most important contribution" (wiki). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23010
