Another creative side of the great art - historian

This volume lovingly collected by Meyer Schapiro's widow, Lilian Milgram Schapiro contains representations of over two- hundred of his own sketches, drawings and paintings. It also contains three previously unpublished essays on the history of art from the person who many considered to be the greatest all - around art historian of the twentieth century. The art- work including a number of portraits is interesting and impressive. Like another well- known art - historian who began as a painter Moshe Barasch the painting is prelude and accompaniment to the deeper and more important work as art- historian. But the volume does show another side of this multi- talented master interpreter of the visual arts. And it should certainly be in the library of all those for whom the study of Art History is dear.
