Rave Review

I originally borrowed this book from the library, but I liked it so much I bought it. I was very sad to finish it. It is, by far, the best book about art/artists I have ever read. Manet just comes to life in Cachin's pages, and the color photos are phenomenal. You can see the brush strokes in some of them. I find it sad that so much of his work is outside France, as Cachin makes quite clear that his native country neither understood nor appreciated him during his lifetime. A great painter, I have come to love his work much more after reading this book. If you love art, don't pass this book by.
