This review is from: Drawn by the Brush: Oil Sketches by Peter Paul Rubens (Hardcover)
this is the only reason why i was very disappointed. one could basically find all that is in the book online. one thing that i just realize from buying this book is that if you love an artist dont just buy it base on one customer's review even if you love the artist that bad. but then again if you crave to have Rubens on paper then its not an awful buy just not the best of the best. so far i have three art books on Rubens, the drawing by the metropolitan museum, a master in the making, and now drawn by the brush, the best goes to the drawings, and right next to it a master in the making and the last one...

This review is from: Drawn by the Brush: Oil Sketches by Peter Paul Rubens (Hardcover)
The dust cover to this Sutton book features Head of a Negro. I had a large print of this artwork on my wall years ago. After one particular party in 1968, I found it had been liberated from my house. I've been looking (in an unsystematic way) for another print ever since. . .in England. . .in Canada. . .in Texas. This book helps, in a small way, to fill the physical gap on my wall. It adds in a large way to my collection of art books. It's one coffee table book that I don't leave on the coffee table. The prose is sometimes a little overblown, but usually clear, and the illustrations are great.
