Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Thirty-six pairs of drawings are juxtaposed in this volume in order to extract standards (e.g. of quality) from them. The author proceeds cautiously and compares only examples from the same period and the same sphere of influence. The examples are chosen marvellously well and show in their selection Rosenberg’s superior experience and knowledge."---Alfred Neumeyer, Art Journal
"In reading him we learn how a sensitive and experienced connoisseur argues cases of this kind; no teacher of art history will neglect this lucid demonstration."---E. H. Gombrich, New York Review of Books
"Mr. Rosenberg’s language is clear and untechnical, the reproductions are superb . . . the thoughtful reader can follow the analysis of line, form, space, composition, and design in each of the examples given and can grasp the variations among artists and periods. He cannot help but be rewarded by a sharpening of his eye and a deepened capacity for judgment." * Yale Review *
