From the supplier: An exhibition of paintings by Robert Delaunay is described. The engagement of the artist with his subject, the city of Paris, is analyzed for irony and harmony within representation and use of color. The triteness of some works is explained as the result of the passage of time and the onset of postmodernism.

These are not coffee table books but give one an opportunity to get a good idea of what Western art is. A. Cinelli, M.D. ... Read more
