Book Description
Excerpt from Noteworthy Paintings in American Private Collections We are not all conscious of the amount and curious values of what is being gathered here, and many would be surprised at the variety of interests repre sented in the personal ownerships of works of art collected in our Western World. Some exhibitions and some notices are making us aware of this mass of treasure. Of course we can see how the necessities of a more easy or more lux urions and even a more Splendid manner of living are filling our houses with works of art, as representing these imagined necessities. But we are less ac quainted with the manner in which this bringing together of works of art has often a character which is separate from that of splendor or appearance, and is solely influenced by the choice of good taste or the special wishes of the owners. Therein the character of many of these gatherings have peculiar shapes varying through many forms and assuming very opposite directions. It might be im portant and it certainly would be very interesting to note the forms of these col lections or gatherings at the moment of their first taking shape. Later the pos sible changes of manner of life, the displacements of fortune, or of inheritance are likely to alter these conditions and to make these collections lose their personal character, to destroy the record of first origins and to mass all together in a more commonplace appearance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
