A catalogue of Chinese paintings / with an introduction by Stephan Bourgeois
A 1928 exhibition catalogue published in New York by the Bourgeois Galleries, with an introduction by Stephan Bourgeois, presenting Chinese paintings to collectors and dealers. The two plates are reproductions of hanging scroll paintings: one shows a large crustacean-like creature with long antennae over a mottled grey ground, the other a layered mountain peak above misty trees and water in ink wash. A designer could take the restrained grey tonal range, the vertical format, and the sparse calligraphic seals placed beside the images.
