HOW TO ENJOY PICTURES
By J. LITTLEJOHNS, R.I., R.B.A., R.C.A., R.B.C., R.W.A.
With 8 full-page illustrations in colour, one in black and white, and
43 constructional drawings in the text.
_Small Crown 4to._ 6/- net (_By post, 6/6_)
Mr. Littlejohns explains very simply and pleasantly a method of
approach to pictures intended for those who have no knowledge of them
and no trained sensibility.[1] The book deals simply and briefly with
many of the considerations involved in composing a picture, and gives
an analysis, illustrated by diagrams, of nine well-known masterpieces.
The author does his work very well, and no one who reads carefully
what he says and carries out his instructions can fail to find added
interest if not also keener enjoyment in the contemplation of
pictures.[2]
Mr. Littlejohns writes, not only with the artist's intuition, but with
the clearness and simplicity derived from his experiences as a teacher
of children.[3] The colour reproductions are excellent and could not
be bought separately for the price of the whole book.[4]
