Art and man; comparative art studies

Balch, Edwin Swift, 1856-1927, Balch, Eugenia Hargous Macfarlane · 1918 · Philadelphia : Allen, Lane and Scott · 29 pictures

Art and Man (Philadelphia: Allen, Lane and Scott, 1918) is a comparative study of art across cultures by Edwin Swift Balch and his wife Eugenia, written for collectors and students of so-called primitive art. The plates are outline redrawings of carved figures, masks and idols in plain black line with no shading, useful for flat pictogram-like human forms and symmetrical frontal faces.
