Loan exhibition of paintings, water-colors, drawings, etchings & sculpture
This is a 1918 exhibition catalogue from the Macbeth Galleries in New York, a loan show of paintings, watercolours, drawings, etchings and sculpture by Arthur B. Davies, with an introduction by James Huneker, aimed at art collectors and the public. The four plates are sepia halftone reproductions of Davies's dreamlike canvases of nude figures in misty, rocky landscapes, with soft smoky tonal blending, loose brushwork and figures emerging from shadow that suggest atmosphere and mood for a designer working with mythic or lyrical imagery.
