Description
Book SynopsisFeatures essays by Michael Cole, Larry Silver, Susan Dackerman, Graham Larkin, and exhibit co-curator Madeleine Viljoen. This book accompanies an exhibition that opened in April 2006 at the University of Pennsylvania.
Trade Review“This catalogue represents a real contribution and original and convincing explanations for the reason to consider the work of painter/etchers as a category apart. . . . I believe that this will become a useful and well-used resource for print historians, and will be one of the museum catalogues that will become more than a souvenir of a fascinating exhibit.”
—Evelyn Lincoln,Brown University
“The essays and descriptions of the numerous illustrations are well written and documented but not pendantic.”
—R.K. Dickson Bloomsbury Review
“With index and comprehensive bibliography, this lavishly illustrated catalog is essential for the historian of early modern European art.”
—S.C. Scott Choice
“The notes associated with each catalog image are detailed and enlightening and place the work in relation to other works. The many black-and-white illustrations are of good quality and etchers will particularly enjoy the illustrations that show the same plate in different states.”
—Kellie Cannon Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) Reviews
