An American Painter in Venice
A biography of the American painter Ralph W. Curtis (1854-1922), of the Boston family who bought the Palazzo Barbaro on the Grand Canal in Venice in 1885. After graduating at Harvard, Curtis moved to Paris to study art with Carolus Duran, where he met his distant cousin John S. Sargent, with whom he travelled to Holland to see Franz Hals’s paintings. He exhibited at the Paris salons, at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, at the Venice Biennale in the 1880s. At Palazzo Barbaro he met Robert Browning, Henry James, but also Venetian painters such as Ettore Tito and Antonio Mancini. He travelled widely, even to Japan and India. His works are in American Museums and private collections.
Mental Illnesses in Symbolism
For the artists, writers and musicians of the Symbolist Movement of the turn of the century, true art, an extension of one’s “soul” or unconscious, was often regarded as dark, mysterious and unreliable – the world of Dionysus. Such artists, writers and musicians searched for symbols to express or suggest psychological pathologies manifested in exaltation, madness, and other extreme mental states. Mental Illness in Symbolism inquires into the mysteries of the Symbolist psyche through essays on works of art, literature and music created as part or extension of the Symbolist Movement.
Checklist of Painters from 1200-1994
The Witt Library of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, is one of the world's greatest art history libraries. It contains some 1.7 million illustrations of the work of painters, draughtsmen, and engravers of the Western tradition, all of whom have been indexed by name, dates, and nationality. This new second edition of the Checklist of Painters is a transcription of the Witt index as it currently exists. The names of 66,000 artists, their dates, and their nationality (or school) are reproduced in alphabetical order. The Checklist of Painters is probably the most exhaustive work of its kind in existence; it now lists all painters (known by art historians) to have lived and worked from the year 1200 to 1994. It will be an important reference text in the art history collection of any public, academic, or professional library.

L'arte alle Esposizioni Riunite di Milano
"Qui riproposto in una stampa conforme all'edizione del 1895 (Milano, Fratelli Dumolard), "L'arte alle Esposizioni Riunite di Milano" nasce da un incarico dato a Leone Fortis dal Ministro della pubblica istruzione. Fortis doveva redigere una relazione sulla parte artistica alle Esposizioni Milanesi (belle arti, fotografia, arti teatrali, arti grafiche, istruzione operaia). L'intento non era quello di un lavoro letterario né di un'analisi critica: l'autore semplicemente compose "una raccolta di impressioni soggettive". Riproduzione a richiesta dell'edizione: Fratelli Dumolard Editore, 1895."
