Book Reviews of Beatrix Potter: The Artist and Her World 1866-1943
Book Review: early photos, biography, artistic background
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is interesting for so many reasons: the development of a precocious artist, the world she grew up in, natural history, and publishing. I really enjoyed the early photographs of Potter and her family, as well as the many sketches and works rarely seen by those who know only her children's books.
Summary of Beatrix Potter: The Artist and Her World 1866-1943
Originally published as the official companion to the 1978/88 exhibition at the Tate Gallery, this beautiful book explores the art of Beatrix Potter. The influences of contemporary artists, her flowering as an artist and a writer of books for children, and her later life as farmer and conservationist are all demonstrated through more than 450 colour and black-and-white reproductions of her work. The authoritative text, combined with attractive layout, full index and source list make this a most comprehensive book on one of the greatest twentieth century children's authors and artists.Artists, A-Z Books
