Item Description:
This outstanding portfolio is a twelve book collection with 144 color plate prints suitable for framing. The broad objective of the series has been described by Mr. Canady: "First, to try to re-create for the reader the spirit of the great ages in painting, to show why certain ways of thought and life during different epochs resulted in certain forms of art: and second to show how these forms are echoed, repeated or transformed as a heritage from the past in the art of today." The series is comprised of the twelve portfolios, each containing twelve full-color reproductions, for a total of 144 plate prints, all suitable for framing and have beautiful depth and color (see lower photo). Selling only as a set. Similiar books by John Canaday sell for up to $60 each on some web sites
