DULAC (EDMUND)
Footnotes
Sumptuous watercolour, reproduced as a colour plate in Stories from the Arabian Nights, published by Hodder & Stougton in 1907. The Arabian Nights established Dulac's reputation as an artist, the commission giving him "an opportunity to indulge in his nocturnes; the softness of the gleam of moonlight on stone... his use of ultramarine, indigo and Prussia blue, mingled with purples and violets, brought to the illustrations the calm and mystery of Eastern nights" (Colin White).
Exhibited: The Leicester Galleries, 'Edmund Dulac', December 1907, No.16; Sheffield City Art Galleries, 'Edmund Dulac', November 1982-May 1983, no.12, original labels on back of frame.
Literature: Colin White, Edmund Dulac, 1976, colour plate on p.35.
