What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper, With Slipcase
The first edition of this work, an uncommon copy. A remarkable large paper work celebrating the life and art of Rik Wouters, Belgian painter, sculptor, and draughtsman. A prolific artist, Wouters produced two hundred paintings, drawings, and sculptures before his death in 1916. In the original French.
Roger Avermaete creates a portrait of the fauvist artist, reflecting the themes of warmth and tenderness that were favoured by the Wouter, who often created his art by using an array of colours and brush strokes through a simplistic and genuine style. Much of his work depicts his wife Helene Philomène Lionardine Duerinckx.
Illustrated with six full page colour plates and twenty-one in black and white, as well as forty-eight colour reproductions tipped in and numerous other illustrations in text in black and white. Collated, complete. With its unclipped dust wrapper.
Complete with its original publisher's slipcase.
