Gazette des beaux-arts : courrier europ̌en de l'art et de la curiosiť
A 1905 Paris art periodical, the Gazette des beaux-arts, edited by Léonce Bénédite and devoted to European art and connoisseurship, here presenting paintings by James McNeill Whistler as full-page plates. The pictures are reproduced in halftone with captions beneath each figure, showing standing women in long flowing gowns set against soft, muted backgrounds. A designer might draw on their restrained tonal palette, pale neutral grays and creams, and the elongated vertical compositions framed by plain margins.
