Weber, Jeff

|
Limited Edition of 1,000 copies, designed and typeset by Patrick Reagh, and printed photo-offset under his supervision. Signed by the author. This is the most important contribution to fore-edge painting history in over 40 years. The text contains the first comprehensive annotated dictionary to contain the identification of all known fore-edge painters and binders. The book is sure to become the authoritative resource for fore-edge painting identification. The book is profusely illustrated with color reproductions. Containing two parts, the first will appeal to everyone with an interest in fore-edge painting: a comprehensive annotated and illustrated dictionary of every artist and binder known to make and sign fore-edge paintings. This includes some additional binders and artists whose work can be grouped and identified, as well as some binders who are suspect and possibly never made fore-edge paintings. An attempt is made to prove the work of every person and to give numerous examples. Included also is the most comprehensive assessment of seventeenth century English fore-edge specimens up to the present.
The other part is a full history of the mysterious Ms C. B. Currie, one of the most important fore-edge artists from England in the twentieth century and the only artist to have numbered her editions. This project was challenging since no record of her entire fore-edge work exists and her own identity has been unknown until recently.
Jeff Weber is recognized as the foremost authority on the history of fore-edge paintings as a result of collecting, study, lectures and articles.
