Mauclair, Camille. Antoine Watteau. *75c. Dutton.
W 7–64.
“M. Mauclair sets out with a double aim; to show that Watteau by his discovery of the decomposition of tones was ‘the inventor of impressionism and the link that connects Ruysdael and Claude Lorrain with Turner, Monticelli and Claude Monet;’ and ‘that in reality Watteau was no painter of gay and laughing scenes,’ but that underneath this decorative exterior lay a great soul that had ... been stricken by what has been called the “malady of the infinite.””—Acad.
“Brief but stimulating monograph. The illustrations to the volume are well chosen, but the printing leaves much to be desired, subtleties of modelling and daintiness of brushwork alike being lost in vague blurs.”
