Tippy top- one of the most inspiring books about artists !

MUST, I REALLY Must salute this perhaps dated, but CLASSIC of a book about artists.. Growing up in an ignorant town in Alabama Artistically inclined , and with little inspiration THIS was a delicious eye-opener Chock full of insightful interviews and photos of these artists in their studios, lovingly documented, down to their palettes. This is a soul ful, delectable book about artists . I heartilly urge, especially art students to just GRAB this, without hesitation ...

Excellant art book , great photos of artists and their studi

A fine art book, with good text and fine shots wide variety of artists and where they work o worked

A coffee table book that makes you forget the coffee.

One way to judge my opinion of this book is for me to remember that I have read it and reread it many times. It is a fascinating look into the working spaces of some of the greatest artists of the 20th Century. The photos are usually Liberman's own and while good, they are not usually "fine art". However, they do provide glimpses into places few have been, and that now no longer exist. Do I recommend it? Try borrowing mine--sorry! A companion piece is another book entitled, "Latin American Artists in Their Studios". The photos were taken by professionals and they look it. Both books are worthy of study for serious art enthusiasts. For more info on Liberman, read "Alex", the story of his life.
