THE ART BOOK

The Art Book it’s an A-to-Z guide to the greatest painters, photographers and sculptors from medieval times to the modern day. It debunks art-historical classifications by throwing together examples from all periods, schools, visions and techniques. Only here could Carracci be seen alongside Cartier-Bresson, Duccio be found beside Duchamp, Mondrian be considered with Monet, or Warhol contrasted with Waterhouse. Each artist is represented by a full-page illustration of an exemplary work, accompanied by a text on the piece and its creator. The entries are comprehensively cross-referenced and glossaries of artistic movements and technical terms are included, together with an international directory of galleries and museums to visit.
