The best short histories of art and artists

JAMA may be a medical journal, but the art education from reading about their covers is in depth, succinct, fascinating, not ethereal mysterious quasi-artistic generalities that strain comprehension. JBR

A Rave Review

I have been raving about this book since I first discovered it during the late summer of this year (1999). It contains such insightful comments, reactions, comparisons and details! M. Therese Southgate brings an intelligent, inquisitive, and thoroughly fresh approach to viewing art-its subject matter as well as its artists. Whether an aspiring artist, an established artist, or one interested in art as a collector/enthusiast at any level, this book is a joy to own.
