Gianni Maimeri (1884 - 1951) - From a Nocturnal to a Radiant Painting $39.00 GMBK LIMITED QUANTITIES AT THIS SPECIAL PRICE! This magnificent hardcover book presents the work of Gianni Maimeri (1884 - 1951) Gianni Maimeri was born in Varano, Italy in 1884 and studied in the great artistic centres of Venice and Milan. The First World War was still being fought during his first exhibit in Milan. Critics of the time took warmly to Maimeri, saying that he "successfully reflected the rapport between ambience and people without being subject to a mechanical realism, but rather combining reality with emotional intensity." From the beginning, Maimeri was regarded as one of Italy's most gifted artists and he presented himself as being both a dramatic and a lyrical painter. He aroused critical interest in his work, in which he sought to see clearly "the mystery of light, which is the primary source of vision." Add to Cart  Checkout

   

Allen Whiting: A Painter at Sixty $44.95 AWBK This book features the painting of renowned Martha's Vineyard artist Allen Whiting. It is a retrospective of over 32 years of Whiting's paintings and drawings, with an introduction by Wolf Khan. Whiting, born on a farm in Martha's Vineyard, has captured the essence of the landscape in which he grew up. Virtually all of his paintings are done outdoors, and as Cynthia Wolfson so eloquently puts it, "he (Whiting) is equipped with a uniquely sensitized lens, one informed by a farmer's understanding of the land and the artist's ability to see the colors in the air." Whiting has recently exhibited in Boston, New York and Los Angeles galleries, as well as his own gallery on Martha's Vineyard. His work is unique, exciting and powerful, drawing the viewer into his vision of this magical island. We are pleased to offer this new book which contains dozens of color reproductions. Each book is autographed by the artist, Allen Whiting. Add to Cart  Checkout
