BURNE-JONES

Edward Burne-Jones was a protege of the Pre-Raphaelite master Dante Gabriel Rossetti, close friend and associate of William Morris, pioneer of the Arts and Crafts Movement and developed a unique style of painting that by the late 1870s had the critics enthralled. In art drawn from fairy tales, Arthurian legend, chivalric lore, and classical epic, Burne-Jones's exquisite imagery transported his audience out of their own progressive age into a romanticized past. Curator and art historian Debra Mancoff supplies in Burne-Jones a fresh and illuminating portrait of the painter. More than a simple account of his life and works, she explores the enduring themes in his art and follows the artist in his quest for his aesthetic ideal. Gorgeous collection of art with high quality paper and printing. Out of Print. Condition: Fine. Softly bumped corners with light edge wear.
