The Artist's Mother
The Artist's Mother: The Greatest Painters Pay Tribute to the Women Who Rocked Their Cradles is an illustrated celebration of mothers as subjects, influences, and sources of inspiration in art. Published by Overlook Duckworth in 2009, this hardcover first printing includes a complete number line and retains its pictorial dust jacket. Judith Thurman contributes the introduction.
Spanning several centuries of art, the book brings together portraits of artists' mothers and short contextual narratives about the artists, their family relationships, and the creation of the works. Featured figures include major names such as Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, James McNeill Whistler, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Arshile Gorky, Andy Warhol, and others. The photographs show both monochrome and colour reproductions, including Dürer's charcoal portrait of Barbara Holper Dürer and Umberto Boccioni's Materia.
Hardcover with dust jacket in Very Good condition as stated by the seller. The representative interior pages shown appear clean, with clear artwork and captions; the handwritten notation visible in the Dürer reproduction is part of the original artwork rather than a later inscription. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
