Malcolm Cormack - Bonington

Oxford, Phaidon, 1989. First edition. Cloth. A lovely first edition copy of Malcolm Cormack's fascinating study of the English Romantic landscape painter Richard Parkes Bonington. This monograph provides a coherent and fascinating introduction to Bonington's works, ideas, and affiliations, creating a complex portrait of the artist. Structured chronologically from 'Bonington's Beginnings' in England, through his emigration to France at the age of fifteen, his training under Francia and Gros, to his tragically early death, the work charts Bonington's iconic style that was notably inspired by the old masters, yet entirely modern in its application. Complete with the publisher's original unclipped dustwrapper. Collated, complete with numerous examples of Bonington's iconic coastal scenes, that led to him being named on of the most influential British artists of his time. In the publisher's original cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, lovely. Internally firmly bound. Pages very bright and clean throughout. Dustwrapper, lovely. Fine . Ill.: Richard Parkes Bonington. Fine/Near Fine.
