Catalogo
This is a catalogue of the first Venice Biennale, published in Venice in 1895 by the exhibition organisers for visitors to the modern art show. Its pages are plates of paintings reproduced in black and white, each rotated sideways on the page with an artist's name and a picture title printed in the margin. The plates show landscapes, interiors with figures, and a mural-style decorative panel, which a designer could use for studies of late nineteenth-century tonal painting and the compositions of symbolist-era academic art.
