The American Doll Artist
(Dust jacket notes: "This is a complete and authoritative ...)
Dust jacket notes: "This is a complete and authoritative work on the many outstanding artists who have created and made famous the American art doll. Helen Bullard, herself a member of this gifted group, tells in this very readable and important addition to the literature on dolls the life stories and work habits of over 20 of the best-known artists. Each chapter includes detailed descriptions of processes and steps in the creation of the dolls, from the modeling of the bodies, making of the heads, painting of the features to the final touches of clothes and accessories. Over 200 photographs show the work of these artists and help to make this book a visual delight as well as a source of information to all doll collectors and doll lovers."
