London: Aurum, 1980. Paperback. VG- (wear at corners, sticker on back cover, all pages clear and intact). Glossy color-illustrated wraps with white lettering. 216 pp. BW and color illustrations. "This book should be regarded as an attempt to do justice to a man who was not only a creator of works of art, but also of a whole personal world. This was his greatest achievement: the creation of a Baroque world, built of fantasy and reality, of science and magic, of art and of life. In order to understand and penetrate it one must first accept that it was created by and for the artist himself. It contained only one principle and one rule: Mariano Fortuny. He was both its protagonist and its raison d'etre." - quoted from Preface.
