Mystic India Through Art - plus rare bonus book on the artist Elizabeth Brunner

Description: "Mystic India Through Art" (1937) by mother/daughter Hungarian artists Elizabeth Brunner & Sass Brunner Elizabeth Farkas ***plus an extra bonus book which is very scarce in its own right - "Elizabeth Brunner" (2011) by Csilla Kofalvi, Geza Bethlenfalvi & Katalin Gellar. It was published by the Kanizsa Culture Center. This is a large 11.5" X 9.5" book with many color photos. The text is in both English & Hungarian. The book has some wear on corners of the cover. "Mystic India Through Art" is a beautiful book of very high quality. It contains 130 leaves illustrations, plates (some color) & portraits. The book has some moderate wear & aging, but the main condition issue is some fraying at the bottom of the spine (see the last attached photo). The book has introductions from four individuals, one of which is Mahatma Gandhi. I'm happy to answer any question about the books. From the Introduction: "It is a long way from India to Hungary, but there can be no limitations of country, race or religion in the appreciation of art. India should, therefore, extend a cordial welcome to Mrs. Sass Brunner and Miss Elizabeth Brunner, whose work is represented in these pages. Apart from the general interest which the Fine Arts ought to evoke in those with any aesthetic sense, Mrs. and Miss Brunner have a special claim on the attention of the people of this country, as they love this land and have made it their temporary home, to understand, in some measure, the charm and mystery of its age-long life and civilisation. In spite of having been born and brought up in an entirely different atmosphere, amidst physical surroundings of another type, they have heard the call of India and have responded to it, by their journey into this land and thanks these successful attempts at the interpretation of India's mind and soul."
