Review Aivazovsky: Painting, Drawing and Watercolours from the Collections of St. Petersburg / Palace Editions:

A master of Russian seascape painting, Aivazovsky claimed to have painted nearly 6,000 pictures; it can be said however, that there are far more 'Aivazovskys' in international collections and auction houses. A complete catalogue raisonne of the artist's works is a virtually impossible task, owing to the sheer quantity of the pictures and the complex nature of the attribution tasks. It is difficult to find another figure in the history of Russian art enjoying quite the same popularity among amateur viewers, refined connoisseurs and erudite professionals. He did not experience any creative rises or falls; no dramatic twists in his artistic fate and no discernable evolutionary changes in his technique. Aivazovsky was never haunted by failures, afflicted by official disfavour, vexed by captious critics or distressed by public indifference. Aivazovsky's name was, and still is, well known to one and all. His oeuvre is one of the brightest and most original phenomenon in the history of the world artistic culture, comparable to the equally unique phenomenon of J. M. W. Turner. [+]
The great English landscape painter met Aivazovsky in Italy and wrote a heartfelt poem in Italian to his Russian colleague, calling his creations "powerful and beautiful art inspired by genius. " The works featured in this volume are some of Aivazovsky's most representative. They are the subject of a small showing in and around St Petersburg and reflect the most important features of the candid, comprehensible, thrilling and enigmatic art of Hovhannes Aivazovsky - one of the most outstanding figures in the history of Russian and world artistic culture.

Review Walker Evans, Message from the Interiors / Eakins Pr Foundation:

In 1966, Message from the Interior set a new standard for photographic reproduction and presentation. The twelve large sheet-fed gravure images, in their resplendent velvet-black ink, are a historical testament to the genius of American's greatest photographer. The profound afterword by John Szarkowski is a milestone of appreciation for Evans's work. This first edition is a must for any serious collector of rare photographic books.
