Breathtaking full-page photos; adequate summaries of artists’ lives The full-page prints of artworks are stunning. The book does a phenomenal job of presenting a “who’s who” of influential artitsts of the Western world and even includes a few Asian artists besides Hokusai. It is a great intro for a casual fan of painters and sculptors.
