A Primer of Art

Product Description: IN this admirable little work Mr. Collier has succeeded in bringing clearly into view the helpful relation in which science may stand to the Arts of Designâsculpture, drawing, and pre-eminently painting.

A Manual of Oil Painting

Originally published in 1886, this early work by English artist John Collier is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the practice and theory of the art of oil painting. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone interested painting techniques. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Fancies and Goodnights

John Collier's edgy, sardonic tales are works of rare wit, curious insight, and scary implication. They stand out as one of the pinnacles in the critically neglected but perennially popular tradition of weird writing that includes E.T.A. Hoffmann and Charles Dickens as well as more recent masters like Jorge Luis Borges and Roald Dahl. With a cast of characters that ranges from man-eating flora to disgruntled devils and suburban salarymen (not that it's always easy to tell one from another), Collier's dazzling stories explore the implacable logic of lunacy, revealing a surreal landscape whose unstable surface is depth-charged with surprise.
