025280New York; 1888: Selmar Hess. Small Folio. In six volumes. Originally produced in parts then produced in a small 3 volume edition. Clarence Cook was not only the first but also the foremost art critic of the last part of the 19th Century. While Europeans were disdainful of American art he was able to show how Whistler and Gardiner were the equals of the best of Europe's artists. He founded a Pre-Raphaelite organization and led in the "Truth in Art" movement. Besides 188 full page engravings there are hundreds of smaller ones which provide the reader with the best contemporary account of the contemporary art movement in the late 19th Century and providing for the first time examples of why America's finest artists were the equal to any others on the world stage. Rarely found complete in the six volume set. Bound in publisher's brown cloth decorated in black lettered gilt spines black and gilt silk like endpapers all edges gilt volume one with a bit of rubbed white paintmost likely from being against a white painted shelf wall. All volumes in beautiful condition with light spots of wear chipping to head of volume five. Very nice. Selmar Hess unknown books
