prints and drawings from the collection of Ambroise Vollard

Edición de la obra Mary Cassatt

"One of the greatest - and most popular - of the impressionists, Mary Cassatt created some of her most inventive and appealing images in the print medium. Documenting a startling new discovery, this exquisitely produced book unveils 204 prints and drawings by the artist that have been sequestered in a private collection for nearly a century.". "The catalogue section of the book documents in detail and illustrates with reproductions the 41 color prints, 127 black-and-white prints, and 36 drawings that constitute the studio collection. Essays by leading experts tell the story of this rare collection and explore Cassatt's virtuosity as a printmaker. The result is a publication that will intensify interest in this much-loved artist and stimulate a new appreciation of her significant contributions to modern printmaking."--BOOK JACKET.
