Paintings by the impressionists : collection of the late Desmond FitzGerald : sold by order of the heirs, Harriet F. Clark, Caroline Van Rensselaer, Harold and Stephen FitzGerald ..
This is an 1927 New York auction catalogue from the American Art Association, offering the late Desmond FitzGerald's collection of impressionist paintings for sale on behalf of his heirs. The plates are halftone reproductions of landscapes: a rocky coast with sailboats, a village with a tower seen across a field, a snowy wooded hillside, and a cliff edge above water. Their soft, tonal masses of grey and brown show a designer how loose, atmospheric landscape can be built from light and broken edges rather than outline.
