reviews
A personal selection of 100 masters 
This album is a personal selection of one- hundred great artists from Fra Angelico to Warhol. The subtitle suggests that the artists will be presented in chrnological order but they are in fact presented alphabetically. One full page illustration of a painting is selected for each artist. There is short accompanying material about the artist and the work, with another small photo on the opposite page. The selection of the artists, I found a bit eccentric with there being a number of names who are not ordinarily considered part of the first- rank. This is not an outstanding album but of course many of the illustrations are of great works, and can truly hold the attention and interest.
