Cézanne's Composition: Analysis of His Form with Diagrams and Photographs of His Motifs


Erle Loran - 1943
    For several years he lived there and painted, and when he came across familiar motifs in the countryside, he took snapshots of the setting. These photographs assisted Loran in his analysis of Cézanne's composition and served as the basis for this book, which analyzes over 30 of Cézanne's paintings. This new edition brings Loran’s milestone study up-to-date with a new foreword by art historian Richard Shiff, who places Loran’s work into today’s art historical context.

Greek and Roman Architecture


D.S. Robertson - 1943
    It contains 135 drawings and 24 plates.

It has not only accuracy, attention to detail and scholarship - these qualities we would expect - it has clarity, breadth of treatment and what can be called architectural soundness.
