Great Diversity
Wonderful diversity of portraits. Discovered many new artists I wasn't aware of and want to learn more about. One of the best art books I've purchased.

Nothing daring....
I am always interested in artists whose work includes the human figure. I bought this book without seeing the contents, but figured that with a John Currin on the cover it had to be good. It did include a good range of artists, but I was...

Remember you can't JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.

I demanded my money back
This book is paired with an Odd Nerdrum book, in one of those "Better Together" promos that Amazon does. I'm not sure who decided these two books belong together. Some Amazon executive looked at the Nerdrum book, and said "here's a serious...

Very, Very Dissapointed
I was very disappointed with this book. The cover painting by Currin led me to buy it, hoping to see more of this type of interesting portrait work. Unfortunately, the book is filled with Modernistic art portraits, if you can call them that,...
