Wow!! What a great book and what a great Bargain I got on this hardcover. I am a colorist when it comes to my paintings. So let me tell you there are 400 reproductions and 236 in COLOR! At 384 pages filled with surprises around every page, this book is a star in my Artist Library. It begins with beautiful reproductions at the end of Impressionism, with full page Monet, Renoir, Degas, even a double page of "A Sunday Afternoon ...in the Park" by Seurat. The book divides the artists into groups, such as Neo-Impressionism,Symbolism Nabis, Fauvism( my favorite) Cubism( my favorite) and the School of Paris. The text weaves a story-line from group to group , keeping cohesion and giving us reasons for change and growth in this important time in Art History. If you have interest in Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin,Picasso, Leger and many of these early 20th century artists you will be captivated by this book. It is lovely in it's presentation and true to a time-line. A must for Art Historians or all artists. We learn from out past. This book gives one a complete overview. artist joe monroe
