Moore, Marianne. E. McKnight Kauffer. [In the American British Art Gallery's Drawing for the Ballet and the Original Illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe by E. McKnight Kauffer. New York : The Gallery, Batsford House, 1949.]
E. McKnight Kauffer is a very great artist… Shadows are as arresting as objects ; numerals and letters are so rare in themselves that opposing angles, contrasting sizes, and basic parallels, are of consummate elegance – the only kind of eloquence not intrusive. This language of blacks and grays is color in the sense that Chinese brush masterpieces are color.
