Blanca Pons-Sorolla is the foremost scholar on the work of Joaquín Sorolla and has written and contributed to numerous books.
“This beautifully designed and produced volume brings together one
hundred of Sorolla’s major paintings, selected by his
great-granddaughter, who is the foremost authority on the artist.”
~Art of the Times
“This really is a luscious book. It has large color reproductions
of over 100 paintings in a high-quality printing, supplemented by
black-and-white photos of Sorolla at work. Typical of Rizzoli, the
printing is very good: even in these reproductions you can
sometimes feel the sun and the surf that Sorolla captured so
amazingly in his paintings of children at the beach, fisherman
bringing in the boats, or a horse after a bath in the ocean. The
paintings are shown in chronological order, so you can trace the
changes in Sorolla’s style from fairly tight to much looser. If you
don’t already know Sorolla—this one is definitely worth seeking
out.” ~Sbenedictblog.com
“This beautifully designed and produced volume brings together one
hundred of Sorolla’s major paintings, selected by his
great-granddaughter Blanca Pons-Sorolla, the foremost authority on
the artist. Benefiting from close proximity to the artist and his
personal archives, she presents an in-depth essay that explores
Sorolla’s life, work, and remarkable international legacy. With
virtually all of the artist’s previous publications now out of
print, this much-anticipated volume is an important addition to the
literature on this great Spanish master.” ~PortraitArtist.com
