B3071. Artists' Books in the Modern Era/Johnson
B3071. Artists' Books in the Modern Era, 1870-2000: The Reva and David Logan Collection of Illustrated Books by Robert Flynn Johnson. 2001. 302pp. 11"x9.5". Paper $39.95. JNB Price $15.95
Livres d'artistes- artists' books - are generally books illustrated with original prints by well known artists. This collection includes those books, usually commissioned by publishers, but also includes many which were produced as individual volumes decorated by the artist’s own hand. Includes books by Whistler, Burne-Jones, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Ernst, Man Ray, Rauschenberg, Johns, Motherwell, and especially Picasso. The artists’ contributions are often more than just illustration, but their free interpretation or a way of rendering the text in visual terms. A beautiful presentation with 500 captioned color illustrations.

She is also a frequent instructor at the international calligraphy conference held each summer.
