Retrospective exhibition of paintings, pastels, drawings, silverpoints and watercolors by Joseph Stella : March 27th to April 24th, 1920
This is a 1920 exhibition catalogue from New York's Bourgeois Galleries, a retrospective of works by the Italian-American painter Joseph Stella, covering paintings, pastels, drawings, silverpoints and watercolors. The two plates reproduced here are black-and-white photographic reproductions of large paintings. The first shows a dense, ornate jungle-like tangle of foliage, figures and vines, while the second is a fractured, Futurist-style composition of angular planes, beams and arcs, useful to a designer looking at early modernist pattern and fragmentation.
