Description

Hardcover, quarto size volume bound in blue cloth and publisher’s glossy pictorial dust-jacket. 80 pages. 75 illustrations , including 57 plates in full color. Endmatter includes a chronology of the artist and a bibliography. First edition.. Even the most casual art critic could ever confuse Piet Mondrain’s mature abstract geometrical style with the brilliant flower paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe, though the former, during his youth, produced images every bit as sensual and minimalist. It is from this very contradiction that Shapiro argues for a broader appreciation of the artist and his work. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh and unmarked copy. Near fine in a near fine dust-jacket.
