JONES, Barbara. The Unsophisticated Arts
JONES, Barbara. The Unsophisticated Arts. London: The Architectural Press. 1951. 4to. First edition. Publisher’s dark blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the fabulous dust jacket designed by the author.
One of the artist’s most famous contributions to the Arts, focusing on vernacular art—’the things that people make for themselves or that are manufactured in their taste’. The 184 illustrations throughout cover everything from tombstones to circus painters to stuffed animals. A thoroughly enjoyable volume.
The book near fine, the cloth clean and the binding tight and square, the tips just gently pushed. Internally clean throughout. The dust jacket unclipped (25s net) with several tears to the front panel top edge, tape reinforcements to verso, a few nicks to the spine foot but otherwise clean.
