History of art / art & design styles
Paperback. Benjamin Binstock revolutionises how we think about Vermeer's work and life. Vermeer is famously a mystery in art: there is scant information on his life and training, and nothing to connect him to any students. What remains is the paintings themselves as well as some historical information and surmise. Num Pages: 456 pages, 133 black & white illustrations, 91 colour illustrations. BIC Classification: ACQ; AFC; AGB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 181 x 255 x 28. Weight in Grams: 852.
