Useful... occasinally - By: , 27 Nov 2005
Very often I have come to use this book & not been able to find what I need, probably best for reasearching more traditional artists etc, but can be very useful to have at hand. Also this, the 7th edition, whs first published in 1997 & I don't think it has been updated since which is probably necessary.
A dictionary worth swallowing, digesting, and regurgitating. - By: jc77@nme.com, 13 Jan 2001
This book is compact yet detailed. Pick any noteworthy artist & they are guaranteed to be depicted here in more than a passing definition. As a student of art, it has proved invaluable as a resource & is the first port-of-calll for any research required. Equallly, as a bed-time read, simply by opening a page I can always be sure to learn something new about the world of art.
