A little bit about the book and artist:
Sir William Russell Flint is given a worthy selection of his paintings in this book, and like a very few gifted painters of his time, appears to us as fresh and contemporary as if painted yesterday. I know of no painter whose technique with watercolors offered such clarity and precision. Whatever else he is noted for, in terms of landscapes and interiors of architectural buildings, his feeling for the female nude is, to me, his most superb attribute. Before one realizes the quality and precise delineation of his watercolors of nudes. one might have first been privileged to experience his drawings of the human form, where his single line somehow implies a sense
of touchable live tissue.
