Catalogo
This is a catalogue of the 1895 Venice Biennale, published in Venice by the Biennale's visual arts section for visitors to the exhibition of modern painting. Its pages reproduce paintings in halftone, several rotated sideways on the page: an interior with a seated woman and a child, a Dutch-style room with a window and figures, a group of women in patterned dresses, and a scene of men reading and writing at a table. A designer might take from them the tonal range of late nineteenth-century genre painting, with its soft interiors, domestic groupings and dense patterned textiles.
