HOW TO ENJOY PICTURES

By J. LITTLEJOHNS, R.I., R.B.A., R.C.A., R.B.C., R.W.A.

With 8 full-page illustrations in colour, one in black and white, and 43 constructional drawings in the text.

Small Crown 4to. 6/- net (By post, 6/6)

Mr. Littlejohns explains very simply and pleasantly a method of approach to pictures intended for those who have no knowledge of them and no trained sensibility.[1] The book deals simply and briefly with many of the considerations involved in composing a picture, and gives an analysis, illustrated by diagrams, of nine well-known masterpieces.  The author does his work very well, and no one who reads carefully what he says and carries out his instructions can fail to find added interest if not also keener enjoyment in the contemplation of pictures.[2]

Mr. Littlejohns writes, not only with the artist’s intuition, but with the clearness and simplicity derived from his experiences as a teacher of children.[3] The colour reproductions are excellent and could not be bought separately for the price of the whole book.[4]

BLACK’S DICTIONARY OF PICTURES A GUIDE TO THE BEST WORK OF THE BEST PAINTERS

EDITED BY RANDALL DAVIES

Demy 8vo. 3/6 net (By post, 4/-)

This book contains descriptive accounts, with full and accurate particulars, of nearly 1000 of the most important pictures in public galleries in this country and on the Continent.  They have been selected out of the immense number of exhibited works as being those which, in view of the opinions of the best critics, or in some cases by popular suffrage, are such as practically everybody who cares about pictures ought, or would like, to know something about.
