{"product_id":"9780486816265","title":"The Art of Illustration","description":"An influential teacher whose pen-and-ink drawings helped define the style of the early twentieth century, Edmund J. Sullivan sought to define the principles behind good illustration. His treatise ― richly illustrated with black-and-white engravings by Holbein, Dürer, Rubens, Blake, and many others ― also offers suggestions on materials and methods. \u003cbr\u003eSullivan, who came of age during the heyday of graphic design and book illustration, was a firm believer in free but faithful artistic interpretations. In \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Illustration,\u003c\/i\u003e he conducts a fascinating journey through art history that ranges back and forth in time from his contemporaries — including Beardsley, Doré, and Whistler — to Botticelli and other old masters. Sullivan's knowledgeable and informative discourse covers symbolism, cartoons, the use of models, the illustration of poetry and plays, children's books, and a host of other topics of enduring interest to artists and art lovers.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122134565104,"sku":"9780486816265","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486816265_p0.jpg?v=1763709122","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486816265","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
