Isabella Alston

Small book (not much bigger than a CD) but filled with beautiful, well-selected art. Bought at Tuesday Morning, of all places... My only problem is that it's all basically advertising, so a certain aesthetic purity is missing. In any case, if NASCAR cars had designs like these on them, maybe people like me wouldn't mind its commercialism. Some of the artists in the book: Julien Lacaze, Adolphe Mouron (a.k.a. Cassandre), Paul Colin, Emil Cardinaux, Marcello Dudovich [Italian], René Vincent, Alphonse Muchia [Czech], Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Théophile Steinlen [Swiss], Suzanne Ferrand, Sandy Hook (a.k.a. George Taboureau), Paul Émile Berthon, Roger de Valerio, Henry le Monnier. Note that there's only 1-4 illustrations per artist.… (altro)
