Abstract

Hell
Rosenfeld, Paul | January 22, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. Couched in sharp aristocratic prints, a macabre epic becomes generally accessible in "The Disasters of the War," volume of facsimile reproductions. The book itself is perhaps the least triumphant as well as the least expensive of the remarkable Phaidon series. Certain of the reproductions represent inferior pulls, apparently taken after the aquatint had seriously impaired the singing quality of the original etchings. Others of them lose the almost matchlessly kinetic lines of their originals, and with it, the fineness of the wonderful and terrible expressions.
