IT IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!! Go to artbooks.com and order one. It was written by his grandaughter and has almost every painting he has done in BEAUTIFUL detail. I have all the other Sorolla books and this one is by far the best art book I have.

Enjoy!

P.S. I think these are limited edition books too so get one before they stop selling them as they will be $1000+ after that.

Dear Tony (or Stanka),

I can't find any artbooks.com for some reason. Is there a link available to the site where you ordered your book(s)? I too am a HUGE fan of Sorolla, if I have not stated this already.

Thanks,

Garth

Sorolla Book $325.

I met Michael Shamansky, the bookseller, at a summer gallery within a huge adapted 19th century church structure, he ran in Jim Thorp, PA some sixteen years ago. He seemed very fond of my portfolio at the time. I remember him as a rather nice guy.

By the time I can conjure the funds, I hope copies of this book will remain.

Beth was with our first class tour of the Cincinnati museum (a fun part) and then I went back every time I'm in the city. I also went to the Taft. This city has (I think) 3 Sorollas, 3 Sargents and 2 or 3 Zorns-all are first rate (and hanging Garth) I have some images somewhere.

This talk of Sorolla reminded me of the quality Sorolla there. I hangs next to Sargent's wonderful work of his nieces fishing. This Sargent by the way is so delicate and the design is just perfect.

Thanks for the tips on the book.

Garth,
Here are a couple of alternatives in case you need them. The book in question can also be ordered from the Museo del Prado:
[email protected]
I went over and asked about price and details of shipping and given the dollar-euro change, it would come out more or less the same ordering it directly from the Prado.
You can also check out the Museo Sorolla website;
museosorolla.mcu.es
The museum is an obligatory stopover for all Sorolla admirers and should be number 3 after the Prado and the Thyssen for anyone visiting Madrid.
