Book Reviews of Johannes Vermeer

Book Review: Mediocre reproductions
Summary: 3 Stars

I was wrong to say that the tall Harry Abrams Vermeer book, "The Complete Works", was inadequate. It is far better than the reproductions contained here or in the Blankert book. Abrams' prints are clear, intense and, above all, not washed out. Most of the prints here and in the Blankert book are washed out or blurry. True, "A Lady Reading" is too dark in Ambrams, so we can't see the drapery or the picture on the wall, and "Servant Handing a Letter to Her Mistress"(one of the greatest) has colors that have run, but on the whole the quality of Abrams is far better. And, the book is less expensive. You lose the long-winded, predictable commentaries, but you'll never miss them.
