Overview
Continuously in print for more than 20 years, Abrams' Masters of Art series has always been known for its exceptional quality and value. Now these classic volumes devoted to the lives and works of the world's great painters have been newly redesigned and released in paperback for the first time. The comprehensive texts, written by distinguished art historians, provide incisive and informative portraits of the artists and perceptive commentaries on their works and achievements. Each book features 40 full-page, full-color plates accompanied by commentary on the facing page. Numerous black-and-white illustrations supplement the text.Synopsis
Abrams' Master of Art series, instituted in the 1960s, chose prominent art historians to write a short text and commentary on well-known artists. These classic texts are reproduced in 9x12" paperback editions with 40 full-page color plates (each faced with a page of commentary) following the text. In his commentary, Meyer Shapiro, who authored this text in 1969, executes the astute formal analysis for which he was renowned. Not indexed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
