MODERN PAINTING
by REGINALD BRILL
"A brilliant sketch. ... The illustrations
have all the qualities which make us enjoy
or detest the kind of painting which came in
with modern psychology.â€â€”John o'London's
Weekly.
“One of the admirable aspects of this
volume is the choice of illustrations. To a
public already well acquainted with the
typical' paintings and the 'masterpieces
of modern art, it is refreshing to discover
an unhackneyed selection of paintings,
which stimulate rather than soothe. That,
indeed, is also one of the main virtues of
Mr. Brill's introduction; perhaps more
than
any
other book in the series, it is likely
to make for discussion rather than for quiet
acceptance."-Studio.
“ The author's ability to spotlight' the
significant characteristics of a painter's
style in a paragraph testifies alike to his
skilful choice of words and a very con-
siderable knowledge of contemporary paint-
ing. No less remarkable is his admirably
concise account of such modern movements
as Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and
Surrealism."--Times Educational Supplement.
