[Marcel Vertes]
The artist and illustrator Marcel Vertès examines the enduring nature of style and how fashion has been present in a repeating cycle for centuries. His words are supported by reproductions of paintings, prints and drawings by artists such as Pisanello, Picasso, Bérard, El Greco, Van Dongen, Goya, Seurat, Velazquez, Eric, and Matisse, as well as numerous illustrations by Vertès. Scarce with the dust jacket.
