Original Watercolor Drawings by Leonard Baskin

BASKIN, Leonard.  ORNAMENTAL FANTASIES, A Suite of Eleven Original Drawings and a Pictorial Title Page on an Architectural Theme.

(Leeds, Massachusetts: 1995). 11 original watercolors, each in its own matte, the whole encased in a clamshell box.

A suite of unpublished watercolor drawings on architectural themes.  Leonard Baskin examines the ornamental aspects of the builder's art, offering fantastical gargoyles, columns, cornices, and other ornamentations.  It is a vivid and varied suite in which Baskin's sense of color and deep understanding of the history of ornament is given full range.  The drawings have never been published.  Each is signed by the artist.
