Eye of the Painter

The elusive and intriguingly titled Eye of the Painter and Elements of Beauty is Loomis' last book, published posthumously in 1961, two years after his death. It's his treatise on how an artist perceives beauty and harmony. It's an interesting book, but it's not for casual perusal and doesn't have all that much Loomis art. It's mainly illustrated with samples of the work of fine artists. It is also extremely rare. In the same span that we've sold 141 Figure Drawings, we've sold nine Eye of the Painter's.
