Description

"Drawings and prints of grotesque ornament both reflected the work of painters and sculptors and stimulated them, encouraging the transfer of ideas from one medium to another. In this publication, Nicholas Penny explores a history of such ornament, especially with regard to masks, looking at some of the most celebrated works of art in New York--the Morgan's 'Farnese Hours' and the splendid portrait by Bronzino at the Metropolitan Museum of Art--but connecting them with little-known drawings and prints, and also with some of Manhattan's early twentieth-century architecture." --book jacket.
