The book presents an overview of artists' biographies with analysis of the style and subject matter of their work. Octavo: viii, 272 p. with numerous illustrations. Original gray cloth binding, with black titles. Light dust staining to the top edge. The spine is leaning just a touch, with some general edgewear to the boards.
