Customer Reviews

I beatiful book, I would recomend for any serious art lover!

This book was a beatiful tribute to some oof the worlds most talented artists! I greatly enjoyed thumbing through it, and the small paragraphs on each page were a quick informative summary of the artists life and work. I adore this book!

Not about the book

The previous reviewer must be corrected in turn, as "appetite" is spelled with two p's - if I'm not mistaken - and as for "blurb for...," well, it's "blurb on...!"

This is an exellent reference, superb coverage of artists.

This book is being used by a group of women artists who are studying a wide range of painting styles. There is an incredible range of artists and their techniques to be seen and studied in this book. The bibligraphies are conicse and very informative. Not only does it wett the appetite of the young and old, but it encourages them to delve into and study the artists who interest them and opens up a new world of art hisotry, thus educating even more. A wonderful resource and text book. The reproduction of the paintings are very good and the book is a credit to the two authors.
