Artist's Mother [Hardcover]

Book Description

Perfect for Mother's Day, a unique tribute to their mothers by the world's most famous artists Every genius must have a mother, and often a mother is an inspiration for genius. Over the last five hundred years, artists have found ways to work their mothers into their most famous paintings. The Artist's Mother is the first-ever collection of paintings by famous artists of their moms. This beautiful and affordable four-color hardcover offers masterpieces from the oeuvres of some of the greatest painters in history. Each color plate is accompanied by a warm and carefully researched narrative about the artist, his or her mother, and the painting itself. The history-spanning collection ranges from Leonardo to Mary Cassatt and includes classic pieces by such artists as Whistler, van Gogh, and Picasso. A true celebration of the mother-child bond and of the many ways in which mothers make the world a more beautiful place.

This review is from: Artist's Mother (Hardcover)

Book never arrived as promised. Wrote review of Awsome Books as unreliable. Fault of P.O. it turned out. Book came eventually. I notified Awesome Books and tho they had refunded my money, I offered to pay again. They kindly said to keep the book--no cost--due to the delay. They deserve EXCELLENT rating---please change from previous "Poor"
