Product Description
Product Description
Albert Moore (1841-93) was one of the most important late Victorian artists. In a single-minded quest for aesthetic perfection, he employed the female figure to embody abstract systems of ideal beauty, and created many of the iconic and defining images of the Aesthetic Movement. Yet he has remained a shadowy figure. Based on original research and unpublished family documents, Robyn Asleson's monograph presents a fresh view of the artist's allegedly reclusive personality, and firmly establishes him as a major figure and a significant precursor of Modernism. This beautiful book is now issued in a paperback format that will bring the artist to a wide and appreciative audience.

Worth it, Feb 23 2008
By Jeff de la Tours - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Albert Moore (Paperback)
I disagree with the other reviewer. This book has plenty of pictures, however having larger sized reproductions would be nice. Albert Moore's subject matter was a means to an end, he aimed at making beautiful pictures rather than historical or religious scenes. His brushwork is fantastic and his understanding of colour interactions superb. As this is the only book on him it is worth the buy.
