Adolph Menzel: Drawings Colour Plates Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel (1815 – 1905) was a German artist noted for drawings, etchings, and paintings. Along with Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the two most prominent German artists of the 19th century, and was the most successful artist of his era in Germany. His popularity in his native country, owing especially to History Painting, was such that few of his major paintings left Germany, as many were quickly acquired by museums in Berlin. Menzel's graphic works and drawings were more widely disseminated; these, along with informal paintings not initially intended for display, have largely accounted for his posthumous reputation.The paintings which were available to the public garnered recognition not only within Germany, but from the French avant-garde as well: Edgar Degas admired and copied his work, calling him "the greatest living master".

This is a really great compilation of Menzel drawings. Many of which were new to me. Nice details that you can enlarge.

3.0 out of 5 stars More like a bound school project

Images are collected from the internet. Mostly small images generally favoring the top line border leaving the lower half of each page blank with the occasional detail of the image flanking the profiled small to medium image. Given the resolution of some of the detailed pics shown; why not print the images full size as shown on the cover - had this been done, this would have been a five star book.

This is a print on demand book. Which I is not an issue on its own as there are many fine books published and distributed this way. However, this is not what one expects in a art publications. And as Dover has shown, high quality can be accomplished on a budget.

With enough effort one could easily search the internet for hi-res images and send them over to a printer to have them bound and achieve higher standards.

Valiant effort tho it falls quite short.

I should have read the reviews before purchasing this so called "book". It's hardly more than what some have described as images pulled from the internet. Some reproductions okay, others horrible (too saturated and high in contrast). Please don't waste your money on this product.

Print on demand book. Small images with some full color. Not a great book for true color of images. OK for looking at, but not a great book for artists. Images could have been printed full page, but you get two or three on a page with most bottoms of pages empty.

Don't buy this booklet. It is a shoddy printout of pictures downloaded from the web. Just Google the artist's name and you can see the same images on your screen in much better quality.

Even a booklet based on downloads could have been done so much better. The layout and printing are really bad.
