Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Please note: SOFTCOVER. "Aelbert Cuyp was one of the foremost Dutch painters and draftsmen of the seventeenth century. His prolific artistic career spanned the years between 1640 and 1665, the Golden Age of Dutch painting, and his idyllic views of the Dutch countryside have entranced collectors and connoisseurs ever since. Although particularly renowned for his pastoral scenes, Cuyp also painted portraits, biblical scenes and majestic views of Dutch harbours. It is Cuyp's unique combination of Italianate atmospheric effects and native Dutch landscape that distinguishes his art from that of any of his contemporaries. Forty-five of Cuyp's most distinguished paintings and sixty-four drawings are reproduced here in brilliant colour, accompanied by more than one hundred comparative illustrations. Their appeal lies not only in the subject matter but also in their distinctive style, for Cuyp infused his Arcadian subjects and river views with a sensitivity to light and a clarity of form that is firmly grounded in reality. Published to accompany an international touring exhibition, the book features perceptive essays by an international team of curators and scholars that discuss Cuyp's work in the context of his time, personal background, artistic development, patrons, use of costume and artistic techniques." - Publisher.

Illustrated with b-w halftones, colour plates, &tc Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . The National Gallery's blurb notes: "Aelbert Cuyp, one of the foremost Dutch landscape painters of the seventeenth century, was born in Dordrecht in October of 1620. His father, Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp (1594 1652), was a successful portrait painter in the city, and from him Aelbert received his earliest training, assisting his father by painting landscape backgrounds for portrait commissions. It is uncertain whether Cuyp had also apprenticed with a landscape painter, but he soon abandoned his father s style and subject matter and turned almost exclusively to landscapes and riverscapes, painting only an occasional portrait in his mature period. Arnold Houbraken, a native of Dordrecht, noted that Cuyp was a man of "irreproachable character" (onbesproken leven), and the surviving documents concern his active involvement in the Dutch Reformed Church and the city affairs of Dordrecht, rather than his activities as a painter. His marriage to Cornelia Boschman (1617 1689), the wealthy widow of Johan van den Corput (1609 1650), a representative to the admiralty at Middelburg and a member of an important Dordrecht family, took place on July 30, 1658. After his marriage, Cuyp appears to have painted less frequently, probably owing to a combination of his increased church activity and the absence of financial pressures. He was buried in the Augustinian Church at Dordrecht on November 15, 1691. Houbraken commented that only the artist s own works were found in his home at the time of his death, proof that nature alone served as his model. The stylistic evolution of his oeuvre, however, disproves Houbraken s conclusion. Cuyp s early landscapes are clearly inspired by the compositional approach and monochromatic palette of Jan van Goyen (Dutch, 1596 - 1656), but by the middle of the 1640s, the influence of the Utrecht painter Jan Both (Dutch, 1615/1618 - 1652) becomes apparent. Cuyp never lived in Utrecht, but probably his parents had met there while his father was studying, and Aelbert apparently visited the city regularly. By the mid-1640s Both had returned from Italy, bringing with him a new style employing the contre-jour effects associated with the work of Claude Lorrain (French, 1604/1605 - 1682). Cuyp soon recognized the possibilities of this new compositional approach and began to employ large foreground elements in his panoramic scenes, infusing them with a warm light and atmosphere. The occasional classical motif and Italianate lighting effects that are found in Cuyp s mature works are not the result of a trip to Italy but of his association with Both, and perhaps other Italianate landscape painters he may have had contact with in Utrecht. Although no documents related to his travels exist, Cuyp s drawn landscapes and townscapes do indicate that he traveled within the Netherlands and along the lower Rhine in Germany. Cuyp seems to have worked for a number of important Dordrecht families. He was clearly an important artist in the city, although little is known about the organization or production of a workshop. Houbraken mentions only one pupil, Barent van Calraet (1649 1737), whose brother Abraham van Calraet (1642 1722), if not a pupil of Cuyp, was certainly a follower. It appears that many of Abraham van Calraet s works were among those mistaken for autograph Cuyp paintings by the beginning of the twentieth century, when Hofstede de Groot included more than eight hundred entries in his catalogue raisonné of the master. By the late eighteenth century, Cuyp had many other followers and imitators, including Jacob van Strij (1756 1815). (Arthur K. Wheelock Jr.

Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 235 Pages. Blue Cloth. Dust Jacket price $24.95 is unclipped. Illustrated throughout with maps, drawings, and plates many of which are in color. In the nineteenth century, the Islamic world evoked in the imagination of artists, writers and travellers throughout Europe, a land rich in mystery and exoticism. Trade, politics and a fascination with strange and distant places had already established the Near East and North Africa in the Western mind before 1800. But the Napoleonic campaigns, the publication of Vivant Denon's superbly illustrated studies of Egypt, the accounts of Sir Richard Burton's secret visit to the forbidden city of Mecca and his search for the White Nile opened up this world to a wider audience, and during the 19th and early 20th centuries the Near East became a source of fresh inspiration for artists from America, Germany, Italy, Russia, and especially France and England. This catalogue of the first major exhibition of Orientalist art in London, held at the Royal Academy in 1984 and then at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, draws together over 100 paintings by such illustrious artists as Delacroix, Renoir, Holman Hunt and Matisse, and provides a fascinating insight into a world they found initially alien, but ultimately captivating. Every painting is illustrated, and together they provide a dazzling visual record of the imaginative shift from early romantic evocations of harems and colorful Arab ceremonies, through the almost photographic documentations of the mid 19th century, to the exploratory innovations that prepared the way for major developments in 20th century art. The Orient posed a number of moral and artistic dilemmas for Western artists: they were fascinated by the sparkling light and the unfamiliar settings rich in artistic motives, struck by the quietism and aesthetic manifestations of the Muslim religion, and shocked by the apparent lack of civilisation. This divergence between the beguiling myth of the East and the perceptions and experiences of the artists who travelled there is explored in the authoritative introductory essays, which place the Orientalist movement in its historical and cultural context. The catalogue is supplemented by a comprehensive bibliography, glossary and chronology. Contents: Western Art and its Encounter with the Islamic World, The Orient and the West from Bonaparte to T.E. Lawrence, Innocentes Abroad 19th Century Artists and Travellers in North Africa and the Near East, The Question of Faith Orientalism Christianity and Islam, and The Catalogue. Laid in is an 11" X 17" nine-page brochure published on the occasion of the exhibition by the National Gallery of Art July 1 - October 28, 1984 at Washington in Near Fine condition.

Summary; Andy Goldsworthys beautiful ephemeral artworks have been rendered timeless in numerous photographic records. But over a period of nearly twenty-five years, he has also produced more than 120 permanent installations all over the world in three continents. This is the first significant volume devoted to Goldsworthy's work in nearly twenty years, and the first to underscore the artists permanent output since 1984. The artists sculpture and practice are situated within an ages-long tradition of structures and also trace the development of Roof, his permanent, site-specific sculpture at the National Gallery of Art,Washington. In January 2003 Andy Goldsworthy was invited to create a work of art for the National Gallery of Art. The project began with a series of ephemeral works on Government Island in Stafford County,Virginia. From this phase a series of photographic suites and a diary remain. The second phase of the project resulted in Roof, comprising nine stacked-slate domes installed over the course of nine weeks by Goldsworthy, his assistant, and a group of drystone wallers in the winter of 200405. The combination of documentation of all the permanent installations, in-depth analysis of Roof and contextual essays make this a landmark publication on the artist.
