3.0 out of 5 stars Informative yet slightly lacking, July 11, 2001

Jean "msanjelpie" (Idaho) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Albert Bierstadt (Famous Artist) (Paperback)

The huge colored cover led me to believe the book would be filled with likewise large color plates. Not so... most of the pictures are around 8" x 5" with the rest of the page left blank. Each picture has the history behind it which is great. Just wish the pictures themselves had been larger.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest painters in American history, October 9, 2008

Future Watch Writer (Washington, D.C. Area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Albert Bierstadt (Famous Artist) (Paperback)

Bierstadt was one of the greatest painters in American history. It's a pretty sorry situation that this seems to be the only major book on him in print. However, this is still a good book. Read it. Also, check my Amazon Listmania list on landscape painting for more books about the beauty of nature.
