Pots and pans; or, Studies in still-life painting
Pots and Pans, a 1921 study of still-life painting by Arthur Edwin Bye, published at Princeton University Press for students and readers of art history. The pictures are halftone reproductions of Dutch and Chinese-influenced still lifes, with flower arrangements in vases and fruit on dark grounds, and a designer might borrow their tonal contrast, pale blossoms against deep shadow, and the way a single ceramic jar anchors a composition.
