Profusely illustrated with 100 beautiful, full-page reproductions of etchings by Anders Zorn. Zorn's reputation was generally derived from his work as a portrait painter. Many of his portraits were painted in the United States, where he gained an almost unbelievable success. Bankers, captains of industry and politicians were prepared to pay astronomical sums to be painted by him. He painted portraits of Grover Cleveland (National Portrait Galley, Washington DC) and William Taft (The White House, Washington DC). A portrait of a third president Theodore Roosevelt was made by Zorn in the form of an etching. It was Zorn's etchings that contributed particularly to his success. With Rembrandt as his artistic role model he developed a masterful etching technique where he builds up his motif with a multitude of lines. In total he produced 289 different etched works. 100 of them are reproduced in the present volume. Spine almost gone, boards rubbed and soiled, interior tight, square and clean; all illustrations clean and bright. VERY GOOD. Arnolds Graphische Bucher Series. Etchings.
