Many previously unknown pictures are published for the first time. The artist's earlier works, his bold abstractions from 1911 to 1914, and his little-known watercolours painted in Russia from 1915 to 1921 are fully documented and illustrated.

Vivian Endicott Barnett has excellently catalogued the Munich years and the Russian Period ...and has thoughtfully examined the work.'

Vivian Barnett also provides complete provenance, exhibition history and reference for more than 500 watercolours and gouaches, plus an addendum to the Catalogue of Oil Paintings (1982, 1984). The original essays, complete list of exhibitions, selective biography and extensive colour illustrations make this volume essential for collectors and scholars.
