Great Source of Reference Material

Great Women Masters of Art (Great Masters of Art) This book is helping me so much with retention of necessary information regarding works of art by women for my Women and Art class. The reproductions are beautiful and well detailed. I gave the book four stars because of certain discrepancies between dates and details compared with required texts for the class, otherwise, it is a great source of reference.

Worth Its Weight in Gold!

This book is one in a finely done current art series, and every volume is a beauty! This one, "Great Women Masters" may be the best, since a large number of the artists here are not well known. Sure, there are Cassett, O'Keefe, and a few other very famous names, but perhaps the best descriptions and paintings are by pre-20th Century Artists,some from the 1500's,and especially some English Pre-Raphaelites. There are many,many color reproductions, descriptions of the lives of the artists, even very small color pictures at the book page corners, all which makes this a very special series, this being my favorite. Also, the size is rectangular and portable, not too heavy..All in all, just about perfect!
