The Melancholy of Masterpieces: Old Master Paintings in America 1890-1914

By (author) Flaminia Gennari Santori

| on special |

normal price: R 626.95

Price: R 594.95


| book description |

The book is a fresh investigation of American collecting between 1900 and 1914 and of the impact of transatlantic displacements and mass media on the public perception of old master paintings. Rather than a consideration of the itineraries of their acquisitions, this is an analysis of the political, cultural and social implications of the phenomenon and how it functioned within American society and in relation to Europe.
