THE EYE OF THE PAINTER by Andrew Loomis

THE EYE OF THE PAINTER

By

Pub Date: May 11th, 1961
Publisher: Viking

Report repeated from the November 15th bulletin, when scheduled for early spring publication, as follows: ""The eye with which a painter looks on life must be more keen, more directed, more disciplined than the eye of the general observer. In the text by the author of Fun With a Pencil, the author analyzes the painter's vision from the point of view of line, color, design and style, form and medium. Helpful both to the groping painter and to the uninitiated but interested audience of painting. This text is illustrated in color and black and white, and is recommended to those who are uninstructed but interested in increasing their sensitivity to graphic expression.
