ANIMAL PAINTING IN ENGLAND: FROM BARLOW TO LANDSEER.

Author Name    Taylor, Basil.

Title   ANIMAL PAINTING IN ENGLAND: FROM BARLOW TO LANDSEER.

Publisher    Penguin, (Harmondsworth, 1955).

Seller ID   16418

71 pp, + 64 pp plates at rear and 6 pp. in text, mass market paperback. "...a study of English animal painting from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the nineteenth. The term 'animal painting' has been used instead of 'spor ting art', as the author believes this more conventional term to be too narrow to include the vary various activities of the artists he considers. The present essay does not claim to offer a comprehensive history of this aspect of English art b u t r ather to identify a tradition which, Mr Taylor maintains, has hitherto been unduly neglected by serious students of our painting. Apart from its uniqueness, the value of its continuous commentary upon English social life, and the light wh i ch i t t hr ows upon the situation of the painter in English society, the best artists of this tradition - Barlow, Wootton, Stubbs, Marshall, Ward, and others - have made a most distinguished contribution to English painting. The book contains s ev ent y p la te s, of which six are in colour, and in addition to the main essay, biographies of the artists, detailed notes on the illustrations, and a short bibliography." Interior - text pages browned, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ow ners hip mar ks. E xterior - minor edge wear, very light rubbing, minor browning and soiling to covers, spine browned. VG
