Catalogue Of Paintings And Drawings Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Catalogue of Paintings and Drawings Our aim has been to issue a catalogue reproducing many of the principal pictures and giving, as far as possible, a brief and simple description of the art character of each. For those who are engaged in research and are unable to study the originals, information as to colour and other details is given, more particularly of those paintings belonging to early epochs. Concerning the more modern pictures no attempt has been made to discuss the question of originality and contemporary significance. Such criticism is hardly the province of a catalogue. Other publica tions will be issued later devoted respectively to sculpture, Japanese prints, and the minor arts in the Museum collection. Raymond henniker-heaton, Director.
