THE PAINTINGS OF J H AMSHEWITZ BY SARAH BRIANA AMSHEWITZ. FIRST EDITION, HARDCOVER WITH A TORN DUST JACKET, EXTERNAL CONDITION AS SHOWN IN PICTURES BUT CONTENTS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

"The numerous colour and black and white illustrations to this book give a representative selection from Amshewitz's life work. Ten of the plates are in full colour and there are more than 80 monochrome reproductions of murals, portraits, drawings, water-colours and paintings. These reproductions form a particularly impressive record of Amshewitz's work in South Africa, an aspect of his oeuvre which is comparatively little known in England. The text, by the painter's wife, gives an intimate and fascinating account of J. H. Amshewitz's life, his struggles and successes, and his many friends. The whole book will provide a valued record of Amshewitz's work for the many admirers of his art."
