Summary: Great resource
Review: As an art education major this book came in handy. It is a great reference for anyone who wants to learn more about an artist as a person and as an artist. It gives short bios on many different artists from different periods through art history. It was well worth the money.

Summary: Essential Reference for the Art History Student
Review: Excellent reference for art history research, art criticism, or for deciphering someone else's writing about art.Examples of entries: academy, encaustic wax, Lembruck, Suprematism. So there are techniques, movements, institutions, and individual artists... all explained concisely but with essential dates and details. Saves lots of time when you need to refer to some movement or influencing artist but don't want to get caught up in an enormous amount of data. Western art only. (You won't find Buddha, Sumi-e, etc).
