Masters in Art: A Series of Illustrated Monographs, Issued Monthly–Puvis de Chevannes. Part 46, Vol. 4, Oct., 1903. Bates and Guild: Boston, Massachusetts. Softcover, 50 pp.
This monograph, one of a series assembled monthly for popular consumption, represents the moment at which Puvis de Chevanne–for most of his life one of the most respected painters within the avant-garde and among the least respected outside it–became 'mainstream'. The final years of his life had seen more widespread recognition as a muralist, and the "discovery" by academics and popular critics that had began then was completed by the time this was published, five years after his death. It includes16 pages of advertisements, 10 black & white reproductions with critical glosses, two essays, a bibliography and partial list of works.
