Guy Pene du Bois (1884 - 1958) was one of America's most stylish painters, a keen observer of the social scene around him who deftly captured the sophisticated spirit of his era with a subtle and effective wit. It was during the 1920s that he achieved the style for which he is best known. The 1930s marked an impressive monumentality in his compositions and he received commissions to do two Post Office murals which stand today. By the end of the 1940s, the artist was part of the old guard, dismissing the rise of the New York School. Yet he remains one of the most articulate interpreters of the tradition of urban realism. Betsy Fahlman traces the life of the artist who, like his contemporary Edward Hopper, did his early work under Robert Henri. Like Hopper he spent time in Paris - well documented here with reproductions. But it is the more stylised and haunting works, particularly portraits, of his later years for which he is best known and they are here in abundance.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG. Navy cloth, blue & pictorial DJ. 176 pp. 57 bw and 91 color plates. Biographical survey of American painter Guy Pène Du Bois (1884-1958). With chapters dedicated to his early years, patrons, dealers and friends, his sojourn in France, America during the thirties, portraits, and other related topics. Guy Pene du Bois (1884-1958) was one of America's most stylish painters, a keen observer of the social scene around him who deftly captured the sophisticated spirit of the 1920s and 1930s with a wit both subtle and effective. He found his subjects wherever people gatheredat cafes, at the opera, in the public gardens. It was during the 1920s that he achieved the painting style for which he is best known. By the end of the 1940s, the artist, once part of a rebel art movement, had become part of the old guard, dismissing the rise of the New York School as incomprehensible and without lasting substance. Yet, he remains one of the most articulate interpreters of the tradition of urban realism. In this book Betsy Fahlman traces the life of the artist who, like his contemporary, Edward Hopper, did his early work under Robert Henri. And like Hopper, he spent in time Paris exploring different approaches to his painting. But it is the more stylized and often haunting works, particularly portraits, of his later years for which he is best known. 148 reproductions, 91 in color.
