THE STUDIO BOOKS TO TREASURE THE NEW BOOK-ILLUSTRATION IN FRANCE LÉON PICHON Few English people can have any idea of the extraordinary development in modern French Book decoration; very many of the most finely illustrated books have never left France. This volume tells the story of the movement and with its numerous illustrations makes it possible to appreciate the art of such illustrators as Grasset, Giraldon, Leroux, Daniel Vierge, Steilen, and others whose work is equally distinctive. Wrappers 7/6. Cloth 10/6 --- JOSEF ISRAELS DR. MAX EISLER Israels was the acknowledged leader of the Hague school, which has given new life to a tradition already rich in masterpieces, and his works are important for students of the history of painting in Holland. In this work are reproduced 80 of the artist’s works, representative of his periods, showing his changes in manner though steadfastly clinging to his chosen themes. Wrappers 7/6. Cloth 10/6 --- THE WATER-COLOUR DRAWINGS OF JOHN SELL COTMAN A. P. OPPÉ The excellence of Cotman is sometimes forgotten, but the illustrations to this volume show that he thoroughly deserved the reputation of his own day, which ranked him with Girtin and Turner. Mr. A. P. Oppé supplies an efficient commentary, in which he deals in an informative and critical manner with the artist’s genius and career. Twenty-four mounted colour plates. Wrappers 7/6. Cloth 10/6 --- FIGURE PAINTING IN WATER-COLOURS Water-colour art is coming more and more to the front in its adaptability to modern conditions of life and in its possibilities of effective handling, which include figures quite as much as landscapes, and this book will be invaluable to those who are interested in this branch of Art. Wrappers 7/6. Cloth 10/6 --- THE PUBLISHERS WILL BE PLEASED TO FORWARD A COMPLETE CATALOGUE OF THEIR PUBLICATIONS ON REQUEST OF ALL BOOKSELLERS OR DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHERS “THE STUDIO,” LTD., 44 LEICESTER SQ., LONDON AD.
