Synopsis
Challenged by his son Kristian Davies, the award winning author of Laynfaroh's first book, The Orientalists , to write the story of a forty-year passion for collecting American paintings, Tom Davies quickly found himself not only recalling events surrounding their acquisition but also recounting how the 'art gene' was passed from his father to him and onto his two sons. This Collecting Stories is unlike any other book focusing on a family's lifelong pursuit of its passion. It is written entirely by the collector, not simply a hired art historian. It communicates, at a personal level, the great joy and pleasure derived from the people (artists, dealers, museum personnel, and other collectors) encountered along the way, the lessons learned (both good and bad), and the satisfaction gained from increased knowledge and insight. As the title states, there are 400 pieces of artwork, reflecting the ever-expanding interests of Mr. and Mrs. Davies, collected over forty years, ranging from 19th-century Hu

Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition, 1st printing. FLAT-SIGNED by the author on the title page. A bright, clean, tight copy with all text and illustrations clear/unmarked. "Mr. Davies clearly states he is not attempting to add tomes of new or controversial perspectives to the grand study of art; scholars abound who are doing this on a regular basis. Nevertheless, his concise narratives on 236 artists reveal many nuggets of information about the artists, the eras in which they worked, and the individual paintings as well." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in full color photography of the paintings with accompanying descriptive captions and write-ups on the artists. "Collecting Stories" will appeal to art collectors but also to anyone with an interest, fascination, and desire to collect any objects. The serious collector or those seriously considering collecting will see themselves and will recognize those marvelous compulsions to pursue their passions". 360 pages. LC1. Signed by Author(s).
