I love it when i find something i bought on a whim years ago and it turns out to be fascinating. This catalog is a fascinating look at Europe from an American pov in 1928. I picked it up this evening and couldn't put it down until i read it from cover to cover. i wonder if the edvard munch is considered part of the 'Scream' series? There are many interesting pieces in this catalog - pretty much all european / russian.
I've been an art history buff for a very long time, and i'm so glad i picked up / found so many old exhibition catalogs.
I had a look at ludomir sle?dzi?ski ( Ludomir Slendzinski ) on Google images an was really impressed with his Deco portraits ..... very slender and sexy!
