For it he hired Charles Eisen to illustrate these works "with engravings of the artists accompanied by examples of their work."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Swiss Painting: From the Middle Ages to the Dawn of the Twentieth Century

Geneva, Switzerland / New York, Albert Skira / Rizzoli International, 1976. . Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. The publisher highlights that Swiss painters and painting need to be placed in the context of other European painters and developments in painting but that uniquely Swiss features must also be featured. Dust jacket blurb from the publisher has it that "From the peculiar nature and circumstances of their country, Swiss artists have never ceased to draw an inspiration of their own, stimulated and enriched by frequent contacts with foreign art. Here then are the two sources on which Swiss painting steadily drew down to the nineteen century and which it combined in endlessly different ways: on the one hand, the great movements and personalities of European art; on the other, the powerful, at time uncouth, and all to often underrated strains of a native tradition rich in talents and original forms. After tracing the course of Swiss painting from the Early Middle Ages through the intervening centuries, this survey ends at the dawn of the twentieth century with the mature works of Ferdinand Hodler." Bound most handsomely in a tall, thick, heavy, oversized near-folio format, boards being covered in a pumpkin-colored cloth, with black embossed lettering to spine and cover, being sterling of condition of interior, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Bright and shiny dust jacket overall, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, protected by a plastic coat, not price-clipped. Translation by James Emmons. Many, many score full-color illustrations, some in-text, but most of them being tipped-in or fully mounted. Another fine contribution to the The History of Modern Painting series. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. [10], 11-197 [1] pp. including a Table of Contents.
