A Passion for Renoir: Sterling and Francine Clark Collect, 1916-1951

Harry N. Abrams, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. An excellent copy-very light marking to top corner of front endpaper, otherwise as new-clean, bright and unmarked. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts, this is a study of the Renoir collection assembled between 1916 and 1951 by the American collector, Robert Sterling Clark, and his wife, Francine. Its 33 full-page colour plates, which include portraits of women, men and children, landscapes, still lifes and decorative compositions, demonstrate why Renoir is still among the most admired artists, and essays by a group of art historians examine various facets of the paintings, which constitute the heart of the Clark Art Institute's permanent collection. 112 pages.
