PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jeannine Falino, formerly curator of decorative arts and sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is now an independent curator specializing in decorative arts. Her books include Crafting Modernism: Midcentury American Art and Design and American Luxury: Jewels from the House of Tiffany.
A refreshing presentation. . . . Curator Jeannine Falino's substantial introductory essay describes the technological, economic, and legal developments that converged to foster the development of this new form of advertisement and art. . .Falino provides a succinct study of each artist, including the development of their careers and, most interestingly, particular characteristics and the influences that impacted their art. . . . The essay provides an excellent context for the appreciation and understanding of the works on display. The true stars of this large-format book are the color reproductions of these forty-four posters. Most informative are the brief paragraphs alongside each image that place the work in context and explain the product or event advertised, the persons depicted, and the circumstances of the creation of the poster. These details motivate the reader to look closely at each image and to understand it in the context of the period. This book brings to life these advertisements and provides us with a newfound appreciation for their beauty and cultural importance. -- The French Review
