The book includes biographical information about the artists, analysis of their styles and techniques, and discussions of the historical and cultural contexts that influenced their work. Here's a quote from a review of the book by Kirkus Reviews: "This little volume is an ideal introduction to the world of art for anyone. It is clear, concise and well illustrated, presenting just enough material to create a lively interest and understanding." Overall, "50 Great Artists" is a useful resource for anyone interested in the history of Western painting and provides a helpful overview of the major artists and movements that have shaped the art world. The color plates for 50 GREAT ARTISTS were made available by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C. The production of these unusually fine color plates begins with a highly experienced photographer who supplies separation negatives made directly from the paintings. From these negatives one of the country's foremost engravers, the Beck Engraving Company, etches plates which are then proved, corrected, and compared with the original paintings, until the closest possible fidelity to color and value is obtained.
