Synopses & Reviews
Throughout history, contemporary artists have inspired one another to higher levels while redefining the standards of their time. The "Art Movement" series takes a look at the cliques that have sprung up at various times -- sometimes loose bands of artists inspired by the same themes who worked independently of one another, at other times close-knit groups working together to develop a theme or further cause. Each book features over 100 beautiful reproductions of the greatest artists from each group, as well as expert commentary on each work's place in the artist's portfolio and in relation to the artistic movement as a whole
