Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Elioth Gruner (illustrator). 1st Edition Limited Edition. Quarto. Original gilt-pictorial cloth. Top edge red. [26] pp. 24 tipped-in colour plates including frontispiece self-portrait. Limited edition, number 1,550 of 2,000 copies. Elioth Gruner (18821939) is among the most distinguished figures in the history of Australian landscape painting. Born in New Zealand and brought to Sydney as a child, he studied under Julian Ashton and developed the tonal-impressionist approach that would come to define his mature work. His Morning Light (1916), which won the Wynne Prize and now hangs in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, is widely regarded as his masterpiece. He won the Wynne Prize seven times in total. Gruner died in 1939 and was the subject of a memorial exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales the following year. The Shepherd Press volume of 1947 was the definitive posthumous tribute: a publication described as one of the prize collector's pieces in Australian art bibliography. The foreword by Norman Lindsay, a close friend to Gruner, gives the volume both an introduction and an act of homage from one of the central figures of the Sydney art world. The twenty-four tipped-in colour plates, presenting landscapes, interiors, and still life, remain among the most faithful colour reproductions of Gruner's work available. Very Good. Some minor rubbing at spine head and foot. Some markings and slight toning to endpapers. Contents generally fine. All plates glossy, colourful, bright, and bold.
