Volume

Before coffee-table art books were common, Italy had I Maestri del Colore. Published by Fratelli Fabbri Editori in Milan between 1963 and 1967 and sold at newsstands across the country, the series put real art scholarship in ordinary hands: one master painter per issue, a short essay in Italian, and sixteen full-color plates in a folio softcover.

These are original 1960s issues, sold one by one. Frame the plates, stack them on the coffee table, or shelve a run of them as a set. Each is a piece of Italian publishing history from the boom years.

Available issues, one copy of each: No. 47 Pisanello, No. 98 Giambattista Piazzetta, No. 106 Rosso Fiorentino, No. 109 Pietro da Cortona, No. 110 Francesco del Cossa, No. 115 Lorenzo Lotto, No. 117 Domenico Beccafumi, No. 134 Bernardo Strozzi, No. 139 Giovanni Battista Moroni, No. 190 Bernardo Bellotto.

Vintage, sold as found: text in Italian, with the honest wear of sixty-year-old newsstand folios. See them at the Store x Studio, 288 Buckhead Avenue, Buckhead Village, Atlanta, or we ship them well protected.
