Written by the foremost scholars for a general audience, Abrams' Masters of Art series has proved its popularity over the years, becoming the industry's best-selling art history monograph series. In each book, forty full-page colorplates are accompanied by commentaries discussing each individual work. Other illustrations show the artist at varied points in his career, his contemporaries, and comparative works. The series is now being reissued in paperback, and will be redesigned to bring a contemporary feel to these classic Abrams titles. The individual artists selected for this first round of revisions - Van Gogh, Monet, Dali, Renoir, Bosch, and Leonardo da Vinci - were chosen because of their enduring popularity and their continued influence on the art of today.

Excellent Color Plates!,

This review is from: Masters of Art: Bosch (Hardcover)
About three-quarters of this volume is dedicated to full-page color plates -- many showing details of larger works. (I'm writing about the hardcover version.) It's worth while to get this one used for the great plates even though it is but a survey of his work.

Scary,
By "sylviavander" (Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masters of Art: Bosch (Hardcover)
When I first saw the art of "Geronimo Bosch" I must have been 8 years old. The morbid way of expressing himself got stuck in my mind forever. You love him or hate him; I became a mesmerized after I had the opportunity to see his life work. The incredible detailed features in all of the creatures in his paintings made me give him the name "The Dali of Hell". The surrealism is so real that each individual creates its own story by every painting and makes you wonder if his imagination does not come from the nightmares of a madman. It is lack of education not to have had the change to lose yourself in this book and its incredible works of art.
