The quote on p. 252 is: "For instance, one of the best books I have ever
read on modern art from Constable and Turner through the impressionists
down to Bonnard is by an English painter who is a Royal Academician and
who talks only about the technical methods employed." It's in the section
1980-1988, and there is no note further describing the book. I can't find
enough in Motherwell to identify the book he's talking about, but perhaps
someone else can.

Subject: Query: Motherwell Citation
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
A patron was reading the _Collected Writings of Robert Motherwell_ and
came across a reference that she would like to pursue.
On page 252, Motherwell talks about a book he read that was called
something like "From Constable and Turner through the Impressionists to
Bonnard" the author of which was a member of the Royal Academy.
Our copy of RM is out so I was unable to check there for more
information, bibliographies, footnotes, etc. I've also checked our
catalog for Constable, Turner, Impressionism, and Bonnard, but didn't
come up with anything close in terms of title or content.
If you have any ideas about the book to which Motherwell is referring,
please contact me directly.
Thanks in advance.
