Nope, not this book,
By A Customer

This review is from: 150 Masterpieces of Drawing (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
If you've got even a couple art/drawing books in your collection, you probably already have the best examples contained here (and they're probably reproduced better in your art books). I take drawing seriously so I'm always on the hunt for meaty art books and this one didn't deliver. While I often disagreed with what the author considers a "masterpiece" (apparently anything old--but I'll let that be a subjective thing) probably the biggest problem is the poor reproduction quality. It's refreshing to find an art book that doesn't cost a fortune, but when the texture and gesture of line can't be seen in the drawing--well, is it any wonder so many of them just lie there looking dead? Some of the drawings here are reproduced so badly they are almost completely black, others so light they are just barely tones on the page.Serious drawing books can be pricey but they can often be found at a good price if you buy an older edition--here are some really worth having: A Guide to Drawing (Daniel Mendelowitz), Art of Responsive Drawing (Nathan Goldstein), Art of Drawing (Bernard Chaet).

Don't miss this.,
By A Customer
This review is from: 150 Masterpieces of Drawing (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
With very few words, and many excellent pictures, reveals the secrets of art and drawing. I can basically open a page and enjoy the classical art work while reading a section or a caption and learning something at the same time. Pictures alone are worth the price!
