Ernest Haskell, His Life and Work [with an Autograph Letter, Signed by Haskell laid in]

Descripción

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). N° de ref. del artículo 23010
