brief_description
This is a handy volume in the familiar format of the "World of Art" series showcasing the major pieces of this major collection of Western art. Over 300 pieces are illustrated, generally one to a page, with 50-150 words of text written by Gallery staff. The organization is by period or school (German painting, French painting of the later XIX century, etc.), and each section has a one-page general introduction. Not quite laid out to be a gallery guide--no maps or plans are given--this still serves as a very good introduction to the major works. The illustrations, small as required by the series format, are good. Other larger, more extensive books exist on the Gallery's collections, but this is excellent value. Recommended for larger collections. - Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Lib. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
