An Illustrated Catalogue of Selections from the Alexandre-Rosenberg Collection, Early Egyptian Art Primitive Chinese Bronzes Cubist Paintings and Sculptures Persian Miniature Paintings
An illustrated sale catalogue from the Anderson Galleries in New York, published in 1918, presenting selections from Alexandre Rosenberg's collection of early Egyptian art, Chinese bronzes, cubist works and Persian miniatures to prospective buyers. The plates show a Roman-period Egyptian portrait, a Corinthian amphora, a Maurice Denis print of Saint George, and Persian and Indian miniatures of hunting and courtly figures. A designer might take the strong dark-and-light contrast of the portrait and the amphora's silhouette as models for bold, simplified graphic forms.
