Large Boston Public Garden Sketchbook
Description:... This volume presents in facsimile the entire contents of a folio sketchbook created by the American Inpressionist, Maurice Brazil Prendergast, between 1892 and 1897. The sketches on 44 pages are mostly watercolors, interspersed with some pencil and pen-and-ink drawings. These sketches, from the large finished and signed compositions to the small notations of solitary figures, record and immortalize on fragile paper fleeting impressions of people, nature, and city, the changing colors of trees and flowers, the shifting and fluctuation of shadow and light and moods of humans as well, the ebb and flow of life.
