The Life and Times of Titian with Some Account of His Family

London, John Murray, 1881. Second edition. Original Cloth. Two volumes. Royal octavo, brown cloth, gilt with decorated spines and gilt lettering. I; xlvii, (i), 459pp. with appendix. II; viii, (ii), 541pp. with appendix. Index precedes text in volume one. Illustrated. Frontispiece portraits in each volume plus seventeen black and white plates. Errata slip in volume one. A very good set. Uncut. Small dent to spine of volume one. This second edition is identically paginated as the first edition. It was issued without any additional material, not even a preface. 'For English readers, the Life and Times of Titian by Crowe and Cavalcaselle (1877) superseded all previous works, such as those of Sir Abraham Hume (1829) and Northcote (1830)' (Classic Encyclopedia Web site). 'As a journalist and native English speaker, Crowe did all of the writing for the books. Cavalcaselle provided a knowledge of art and documents. Their art histories were the first written in English to make use of documentary evidence and research, rather than the hearsay mythology of much of 19th-century art writing. Their books went into numerous editions and are still considered an important part of the literature of art history. The popularity of their books was such that they were issued in German and Italian editions' (Dictionary of Art Historians Web site). '[T]he first major monograph on the artist' (Britannica Online Encyclopedia). Very Good .

Varujan Boghosian: A Retrospective

Hanover, Hood Museum of Art, 1989. First edition. Cloth. Quarto (9" x 12"), green cloth with white title in jacket depicting one of the works. 86pp. with checklist of the exhibition, biography, bibliography, and photo credits. Illustrated in color and black and white. A 1/2 inch tear at the top of the jacket has been repaired with archival document tape. A little wear at the extremities, but a lovely copy. Boghosian, (1926-2020), constucted his works from found objects. "Building upon the traditions of Surrealism and Dada Boghosian's assemblages and collages playfully contemplate the boundaries between dream and reality. In creating his art, Boghosian draws heavily on his extensive personal archive of found objects, gathered together in his home and studio. The images and objects that he utilizes often bear the mark of time and his creations frequently juxtapose groups of seemingly unrelated objects together. In describing his artistic process, Boghosian is quoted as saying "I don't make anything. I find everything.". Very good +/very good.
