About This Item
London: Pan Books Ltd, 1980. Large folio art book showcasing the work of Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) who was best known for his paintings of the sea in all its moods. The book is illustrated with 105 colour plates arranged in chronological order. Very good in glossy pictorial wrappers, covers scuffed and lightly creased; stain to tips of lowers corners of the pages and to the top edge. Provenance: from the recent Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray's library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as 'Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.'
