Customer Reviews

excellent book

Excellent book with over 80 color illustrations of very good quality and interesting text. To some degree I prefer old edition (which is better designed) but it has only few colour illustrations. Essential for anyone interested in British culture and art of 20 century. Or possibly (as it is in my case)for those interested in artists whose names are less known.

the best colour reproductions of work yet seen

anyone interested in the bloomsbury group - vanessa bell & duncan grant should definitely add it to their collection
