JS* Extraordinarily well illustrated and edited, each of these little books traces the life and work of a great artist while placing him in his historical context. Sidebars provide details in the artist's life, but the main text focuses on a detailed analysis of the style and technique of the major work shown on each page. Technical vocabulary such as cloisonnisme and stiacciato are defined as they are used; diagrams illustrate perspective; maps trace the travels of the artists. Relatively inexpensive, these books provide excellent introductions to the works of these artists. There is, however, much frontal nudity depicted, by Michelangelo and Gauguin especially.
