Book with the graphic work of Jan Mankes, by Alb. Plasschaert and Just Havelaar.
With an introduction by A. Mankes-Zernike.
Contains 60 pages of text and 31 heliogravures, including the woodcut of the milkmaid.
The book is in reasonably good condition. Only the first few endpapers and the very last one are quite affected by moisture spots. The other pages show no or only a single moisture spot. Two pages have a tear at the top.
The 31 heliogravures are completely intact.
Plasschaert and Havelaar try to get to the core of Mankes and his work in sometimes (baroque) poetic words. It gives a nice picture of the time on the then (1927) already highly appreciated work of Mankes.
Jan Mankes was only 31 years old. His oeuvre, created between 1907 and 1918, includes approximately 150 paintings, mostly small formats, some 100 drawings and over 40 sheets of graphics, mainly etchings and woodcuts. Jan Mankes has gone down in art history as “Holland’s most tranquil painter”.
There is currently a double exhibition of Jan Mankes on display: in Arnhem and Heereveen.
The book will be carefully packed and sent by registered mail, should you not wish to collect it.
