J.W. GODWARD 1861-1922 The Eclipse of Classicism New Revised Edition. Highly Recommended. By Vern G. Swanson. Art by J. W. Godward. John William Godward (1861-1922) was among the brightest stars of the late Graeco-Roman painters during classicism's twilight years. Some believe he equalled Alma-Tadema in his depiction of marble and flowers and Frederic Leighton in his depiction of drapery. I like to compare him to Maxfield Parrish, since he also discovered the value of appealing young women, nude or partially clothed. That became a favorite subject for him, as it did for Parrish a generation later. Antique Collectors Club, 2018....More. Item Code: JWGODH Hard Cover, 9x12, 368pg, Full Color |
