5.0 out of 5 stars A dictionary worth swallowing, digesting, and regurgitating., 13 Jan 2001
By jc77@nme.com (Swindon, England) - See all my reviews
This book is compact yet detailed. Pick any noteworthy artist and they are guaranteed to be depicted here in more than a passing definition. As a student of art, it has proved invaluable as a resource and is the first port-of-call for any research required. Equally, as a bed-time read, simply by opening a page I can always be sure to learn something new about the world of art.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful... occasinally, 27 Nov 2005
Very often I have come to use this book and not been able to find what I need, probably best for reasearching more traditional artists etc, but can be very useful to have at hand. Also this, the 7th edition, whs first published in 1997 and I don't think it has been updated since which is probably necessary.
