Piero di Cosimo
87 plates. 27s. 6d. net
A vivid account of the life and work of another of the Florentine masters, Piero di Cosimo, which is a worthy companion piece to Mr Douglas’ Leonardo da Vinci. This volume traces the artist’s life from his early successes in the designing of processions and pageants, through the period of his greatest masterpieces, the “Simonetta” and the “Death of Procris”,
to the years of his decline and lonely death. Piero’s use of landscape, the broadness of his subject matter, and even his unconventional personality make him strangely modem.
Leonardo da Vinci His Life and his Pictures
52 plates. 22s. net
A lively account of Leonardo’s religious, political, and social background begins this original analysis of his paintings. Mr Douglas explains the significance of Leonardo’s lack of steadfastness and constancy in art, and in his stimulating discussions on art criticism and interpretation of Leonardo’s work he crosses swords with several noted art critics.

Analysis of his Form, with Diagrams and Photographs of his Motifs
79 half-tone reproductions of photographs and paintings, 69 line drawings and diagrams.
Second edition. 36s. net
Mr Loran has photographed many of the scenes painted by Cezanne and displayed them side by side with the paintings thus presenting provable deductions about them that are logical and founded on tangible fact. His book offers challenging arguments for the scholar, student, and teacher of painting, and the conclusions reached by it may be applied to original work and to the understanding of Modern and Renaissance art.
