Llegó en el tiempo debido y en buenas condiciones. Es un poco más grande de lo que pensé. Tiene todas sus páginas. 👍🏻

Leggo ovunque che mancano delle pagine, non alla mia edizione

This book has so many gems of wisdom, I can't even read it straight through. I'll get through a few pages, then have to stop and let it sink in for a few days before I can continue. Beautiful insight into what it means to be an artist. A must read for any artist who wants to further understand their role in the world, or for an art lover who wants to understand the lifetime of dedication and soul-searching artists truly endure to bring their work to the world.

This work tries to provide a "sense" or "feel" for art, rather than technical instruction on how to draw or paint. It is more about artistic sensibility than technique. In this sense it might not appeal to all readers, but I found it very interesting. The author was an important teacher of art in the early part of the 20th century and a member of the Ash Can school of art.

I started reading the book and noticed that pages 59-62 are missing. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the binding; they are just missing. I am disappointed and didn't discover this until the return time had lapsed. I have no idea if other books are printed the same way, but it would be good to ask before purchasing.
