120. Title & Author: John Virtue: London Paintings published by The National Gallery (111 pages)Genre: Nonfiction--Contemporary Art & Art History
Completed: 25 October 2009
Summary & Review:
This book is the accompaniment for painter John Virtue's solo exhibition at The National Gallery, London in 2005. It includs an introduction to Virtue's exhibtion, three essays about his contribution to the genre of Landscape, and reproductions of much of his work.
While Paige was in London during her Study Abroad she went to this exhibition and loved it so she bought this book. I saw it on our shelf and since I hadn't really heard of Virtue, I decided to check it out. Virtue's paintings are incredible and the essays were insightful and original. I wish I had been able to see these immense pieces in their original show.
