Seller's Description:
William Gillies. Fine in Near Fine jacket. A lovely uncommon hardcover first edition copy of Joanna Soden and Victoria Kellar's study of the works and life of the renowned Scottish landscape and still life painter, William Gillies. This monograph provides a coherent and fascinating introduction to Gillies's works, ideas, and affiliations, creating a complex portrait of the artist. The work is primarily separated into four distinct sections, examining: 'the Life and Times of the Artist', Gillies' works on the human figure, his still life works, and finally his landscapes. As the curators of the travelling Royal Scottish academy exhibition 'William Gillies: A Sense of Place' for 1998-99 and the international exhibition 'William Gillies: A Centenary Celebration', Victoria Kellar and Joanna Soden provide an authoritative voice on the life and works of the artist. The notable art historians, curator, and authors here demonstrate their wealth of knowledge on particular paintings, interweaving such information with the fascinating life story of Gillies. Complete with the publisher's original unclipped dustwrapper. Copiously illustrated throughout with color and monochromatic reproductions of the works of the Scottish artist. In a cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, lovely, with very faint handling marks to boards. Very slightly rubbed to extremities. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean throughout. Dustwrapper, excellent. Slightly bumped to extremities and head and tail of spine of wrap. Small closed tear to head of rear joint. Very faint light spotting to verso of wrap, not visible to recto. Fine.
