This review is from: Charles Demuth (Hardcover)

This book goes into Demuth's literary interest : novels and plays.He wrote some of his own. He illustrated Wedekind and Henry James.It was Sam Hunter in his book on American Art that brought out the importance of Demuth's approach to the figure.This book has the largest selection of watercolors and oils illustrated in a book on Charles Demuth.The essays are just as extensive as the reproductions.They are higher quality than any other book on Deem. I have the A.E. Gallatin book, a Whitney Museum book, the Moma book by A.C. Ritchie. There is a lot of Demuth's pictures on Artcyclopedia but , there is more in this publication.If you are a fan of Charles Demuth you will be happier with this book than any other work on Demuth.The book is well worth the price.
