Reviews
I have sixteen of the "Library of Great Painters" books, these all follow as similar format. written pages with black and white print copies. Some add a biographical outline as this book does and also adds a section of black and white prints as a bonus. All then follow with the color plates in a chronological order with a written piece about the print. That written section varies from a detailed analysis of the painting to general background information with less specific analysis, this book follows the latter. The result I suppose is that the best work of the artist may not fill the pages but it does let one see the progression of their art through time.As to Pissarro, I knew nothing about him (not an art historian by any means) until this book. After going through these pages I came away truly impressed with his part in the impressionist movement. I would easily suggest reading and viewing this book, learning what great importance he played in the fostering this style of painting. The author, Christopher Lloyd, did an excellent job of informing the reader of what some have called the father of impressionism.I might add that in one review of another in this series, it was critical of the colors in the color plates. Personally I have never seen a photograph that did justice to the work of art. These are not full size color plates of the originals, enjoy them for what they are, small photographic copies.
