This is a beautifully large book with 173 reproductions of the artists work in both color and black and white plates. The paper is excellent
quality.

Briefly, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1833-1898
was an English painter and designer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's style and subject matter.

Burne-Jones worked with William Morris as a founding partner in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co in the design of decorative arts.

By the 1890s, his work was losing popularity to the growing excitement in the art world for abstraction.

Lovely works of medieval romanticism and legends, perhaps kitschy to postmodern tastes but full of conviction. As Heinrich Heine was said to have to replied when asked why we cannot build the baroque cathedrals today: the people who built this had convictions; we have opinions.

Sadly my plate is too full right now to read all of the text in this thick coffee table book of Burne-Jones' art, but simply the ability to see his work large and on paper makes this book a wonderful experience. Seems to quite thorougly explore every aspect of his life and work, including many pieces I had never seen.

Due to a typographic error in the NYTimes listings I showed up a year early for this exhibitibit. I have no recollection of seeing the show but on another visit couldn't pass up the catalogue when I saw it on the infamous discount table at the Met.

Lettura e visione consigliate quando ci si vuole cullare nell’illusione che il mondo riesca talvolta a essere perfetto. Inutile dire che comprendere le radici dell’illusione aiuta a capire la realtà.

Wonderful. This beautiful book can be download free from the Met's website.
