James Cahill (1926-2014), an eminent art historian, gave these lectures at Columbia in 1991. He challenges the traditional image of scholar-artists being uninterested in material rewards. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white images. PHYSICAL DETAILS: Quarto (11 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches; 285 x 220 mm), pp. xi, [3], 187, [7] pages, in quarter cloth over dark green-blue boards, titles to spine, in an illustrated dust jacket (hard cover). CONDITION: Fine in a Very Good dust jacket. The jacket has the ghost of a price sticker on the rear cover, a tiny hole in the front cover and a few small tears along the edges. The front flap appears to be trimmed too closely to the text but is still perfectly readable.
