About this book
Animal sculpture, painted portraits and the details of religious panels give Elisabeth Luther Cary material for a collection of studies in looking closely at art. Her opening essay follows Antoine Louis Barye from work in engraving and jewelry to the bronze animal groups that shaped his career. She connects his handling of metal, knowledge of living creatures and sense of movement with the force of the finished sculpture.
The range extends to Mary Cassatt, Max Klinger, Alfred Stevens, Rembrandt, Carl Larsson and other artists. In the discussion of Carlo Crivelli, a child watching from a balcony, patterned fabrics and architectural details become clues to the life within a painted scene. These essays suit readers interested in how an art critic moves between an artist's circumstances and the visible choices of line, color, texture and composition.
