Excellent book covering a lot of ground for the non-expert
For those who aren’t deep experts, this is a delightful little book packed with insight and visuals. Covers a lot of ground, giving a snapshot history of the artists moment, and some insight into the various art movements and commentary on each piece of art shown.

Nice BOOK!
I use it as decorative book in the living room! I love it! Small size. It should be bigger!

Another Great Taschen Book; Full-Page Reproductions
Taschen has truly done a remarkable job with this edition, breaking its contents down into 14 chapters organized along art specializations, such as Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism, etc. Representative artists are then presented often with full-page reproductions of their art, with narrative summaries of their works/ careers. A brief Glossary of artistic terms and expressions and a detailed Index are also provided. It is important to note this is a physically small book, but, as an introduction to the diversity of modern art, it's impact cannot be over-valued.

A Good Art Book
I enjoy having this art book added to my extensive collection of art books. It is relatively small in size (6" x 8"), 693 pages and includes many photos and excellent explanations. The paper quality and binding are good.
