Meynell, Everard. Giovanni Bellini. $1.25. Warne.
A late addition to the “Newnes art library.” The author says that Bellini “was fortunate in his age.... The years spanned by his life spanned most significant years in the history of painting, and, riding as he did on the crest of the wave of change and development, his work is the illustration and commentary of sixty pregnant years.” It is the analysis of these forces as they became an integral part of artists’ expression that the author deals with.
“Has all of the good qualities in its sixty-five illustrations and clear text that have placed its companions on so firm a basis.”
