Copertina di Henry James: Picture and Text (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this thoughtful collection of essays, published in 1893, James offers his critique on the art of illustration as he pens incisive profiles of several artists. The work is best known for James’s influential essay on John Singer Sargent, whose art work James found “astonishing, ” and for his revealing essay on Honoré Daumier, which did much to elevate Daumier’s reputation as a serious artist.

Circa l’autore

Henry James (1843-1916) was born in America but after forty years in England became a British subject in 1915. A consummate prose stylist and innovator, possessed of acute psychological discernment, James took the art of the novel to rarefied heights in such masterworks as The Turn of the Screw, The Portrait of a Lady, and The Golden Bowl, helping to pioneer literary realism.
