Dickinson, Edwin: Edwin Dickinson: Dreams and Realities (Paperback) U.S.A. Buffalo Fine Arts Albright Knox Art Gallery 2002
ISBN: 1887457003 Very Good

Very good condition. No interior writing or highlighting. Some coverwear. Edwin Dickinson: Dreams and Realities (Paperback) By Dickinson, Edwin Accompanying a retrospective traveling show on Dickinson (1891-1978), this is the first serious publication on the American quasi-realist and symbolist painter in two decades. Dickinson stood apart from much of the art of his time while teaching in New York City, Buffalo, and Cape Cod. He was admired by the abstract expressionists even though he did not reciprocate their feelings. His landscapes, self-portraits, large symbolist compositions, and drawings were created in various styles, but all draw from an alternative to the mainline modernist traditions. Essays by various curators and friends, among them artist Elaine de Kooning and poet John Ashbery, place Dickinson, his work, and his teaching in context in an accessible way. The book includes reproductions of the 68 paintings and 27 drawings included in the show, which was organized by Dreishpoon (curator, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY), along with photographic documentation of the artist's life. Recommended for American art collections.

Burne-Jones was one of the most important artists of the second phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and one of the greatest of all English romantic painters. Through his lifelong association with William Morris he was also a prolific designer of stained glass, tapestries, tiles, mosaics, books and furniture....In this authoritative new book, in which five of Burne-Jones's series of pictures and tapestries are reproduced in full for the first time (other than in catalogs), the true glory of the artist's vision and range are made accessible. His personal charm, conveyed whimsically in the caricatures with which he illustrated his voluminous correspondence, together with his relationships with his family and also with his beautiful mistress, Maria Zambaco, are revealed, and his position in the context not only of the Pre-Raphaelites, but also of the wider European stage and the symbolist movement, is thoroughly analyzed."- From dust jacket.<p>"As a schoolboy in Birmingham, England, Burne-Jones was already signing his name "Edouard de Bymyngham"--an early romantic impulse borne out by the life and work of this second-generation Pre-Raphaelite and leader of the aesthetic movement, whose massive output of watercolor and oil paintings, intricate pencil drawings, tapestries, stained-glass windows and other decorative objects are gathered this summer at a Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit in New York City. In this richly illustrated monograph, Wood, a Victorianist and London gallery owner, provides a sometimes cursory but fervent portrait of the artist, whose often murky technique and sentimental narrative proclivities (Arthurian legend and fairy tales figure hugely) have had a checkered critical history. Although he was the first artist to be given a memorial service at Westminster Abbey, Burne-Jones's reputation eroded during the "darkest days of modernism," writes Wood. But Wood's enthusiasm, bolstered by the thoughtful testimony of Burne-Jones champion Henry James and the liberally quoted words of the artist himself, who is revealed as appealingly self-conscious and extremely adroit with language, is infectious. Wood perhaps overidealizes the lifelong friendship and collaboration with William Morris, begun at Oxford, but his retelling is moving all the same when, upon Morris's death in 1896, Burne-Jones writes that "the things that in thought are most of me, most dear and necessary, are dear and necessary to no one except Morris only." There are 80 full-color and 120 b&w images, though the lack of comparative illustrations (especially by Burne-Jones's mentor Dante Gabriel Rossetti) impedes Wood's art-historical analysis considerably."- From "Publishers Weekly" review..
