520 8  Metropolitan Museum curators William M. Ivins and his 
       protege A. Hyatt Mayor not only assembled a vast 
       collection of prints, from Renaissance masterworks to 
       ephemeral works, but also expanded the appreciation of 
       prints as aesthetic objects, socio-historical documents, 
       and tools of communication. More radically, by discussing 
       these prints in accessible language, they changed our 
       notions of how art reaches the wider public. Drawing on 
       previously unpublished material, including personal 
       letters and departmental records, this is the first 
       comprehensive exploration of the lives, careers, theories,
       and influence of Ivins and Mayor. Also included are 120 
       exceptional prints that represent the breadth and depth of
       their acquisitions, including works by Durer, Rembrandt, 
       Callot, Goya, Whistler, Cassatt, and Toulouse-Lautrec. 
520    "Metropolitan Museum of Art curators William M. Ivins and 
       A. Hyatt Mayor assembled one of the world's greatest 
       collections of prints, from Renaissance masterpieces to 
       popular and ephemeral works. Celebrating the power of 
       prints not only as aesthetic objects but also as rich 
       sociohistorical documents, Ivins and Mayor expanded our 
       appreciation of prints as the most democratic art form. 
       Collecting across the full spectrum of the medium and 
       writing about prints in accessible language, they 
       transformed notions of how art reaches the masses. The 
       first comprehensive exploration of the lives, careers, 
       theories, and influences of Ivins and Mayor, this book 
       also showcases more than 125 exceptional prints that 
       represent the breadth and depth of their acquisitions, 
       including works by Mantegna, Dürer, Callot, Rembrandt, 
       Goya, Whistler, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cassatt. The Power 
       of Prints is a fitting tribute to two innovative scholars,
       as well as a timely meditation on the display and 
       appreciation of art." -- Publisher's description
