Book Description:
|
English painter John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) communicates his distinctive aesthetic vision through his use of colour. His works have an unusual formalism - figures and settings often appear not merely realistic but somewhat hyperreal. Yet paradoxically Waterhouse's works border on the abstract, prioritizing chromatic features over content.
