This book presents highlights from the collection of Maida and George Abrams, arguably the finest private collection of Dutch seventeenth-century drawings in the world. The works range from studies by renowned masters - including Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, Jacques de Gheyn II, Hendrick Goltzius, Hendrick Avercamp, among others - to drawings by lesser-known draftsmen whose contributions are essential to understanding the art of the period.
"The purpose of this book is the identification of artists' signatures: some 4,500 American artists and, in addition, some 600 Canadian and Latin American artists. Necessary biographical information, such as nationality, birth and death dates, is given along with bibliographical references and auction records in the form of key letters which help direct the reader to further sources of information. With each artist, there is presented at least one signature facsimile; in many cases, multiple signatures totalling nearly 10,000 examples taken from oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints covering as broad a range as possible in painting styles and periods from 1800 through 1989. For the easy identification of an artist who signs his or her work with a pseudonym, monogram, symbol or indecipherable signature, there are three separate sections in the back of the book."--Introduction.
"What is tempera? What is foreshortening? What is fresco? What is a pentimento? This book offers definitions of these and other techniques, processes, and materials used by painters for centuries. Its numerous illustrations--chosen from the masterpieces in the J. Paul Getty Museum and in London's National Gallery and other British institutions--provide a rich and informative history of the medium. Like other volumes in this series, Looking at Paintings presents concise and readable explanations of the technical terms most frequently encountered by museum-goers. It will be invaluable to all those wishing to increase their understanding and enjoyment of the art of painting."--Back cover.
