There is a version of this paper at the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution ( I am trying to get this version to see if it is the same). |

Braithwaite: The Lost Ladies Collection Presented by Joan Braithwaite Haller
|
Self published hardbound book in color. No
mention of Luigi Rist in the book. However, an
email conversation with Joan about her father and Rist is documented on
the "Braithwaite" page. Some very interesting
opinions on "Nude 1", "Nude 2" and her fathers nudes.
This book is very attractive, lots of color, and interesting. Art contains ad layout work, various subjects and, of course, "the ladies". |
Ted Braithwaite was a close friend of Luigi Rist
for many years. The "Nude 1" print is signed
"Braithwaite & Rist". I don't know how "Nude
2" is signed.
This book can be ordered from: Email address for Joan Braithwaite Haller: haller@lostladies.com |
