The Art of Renoir

by Dr. Albert C. Barnes and Violette de Mazia, with a foreword by John Dewey. Originally published in 1935.

John Dewey on The Art of Renoir: "The authors have covered in this volume the artistic work of Renoir, and the method that must be used in any intelligent approach to the understanding and appreciation of art in all its forms. Their treatment of these topics leaves nothing for me to add and contains nothing that I should wish to change... I know of no statement of the relation of scientific method to intelligent living—the real meaning of science—equal to that found in the early pages of the present volume." Third edition, 148 illustrations (black & white). 

8⅜ × 5⅜ × 1½ in., 515 pages, Soft-cover. Please note: most remaining copies of this book have minor shelf wear to the cover, but the interior pages are clean and crisp with no dog-ears or markings. The price of the book has been reduced to reflect the condition.
