Excellent. Informative, inciteful, and riveting.
The book was thoughful and contained information and facts that inspired me to visit my local museums to view the actual work. I also purchased individual books containing the works of those artists I felt more attached to. Each entry was meticulously filled with fascinating materials that clearly detailed the life of each artist, including anecdotes, their reception in the art world, and was written in a manner that brought these artists to life. The author clearly made thses artists accessible to everyone and was extremely dilligent in her research to include a myriad of women and a variety of genres. Quite the compilation!!!!!!

Ok book but … 
This book is ok. Being an art history buff, I did learn some facts I didn't know before. But to call this »100 Artists Who Shaped World History« is a real stretch of the imagination. A better title would be »100 Influential Artists«. Also, some of the artists included seemed to be filler, just to reach the 100. Plus, I was disappointed on some artist left out, such as Christo and Sisquieros.

Very imformative, and entertaining!
Intensive research must have gone into this packed full of facts book. Not only did I learn new things about artists I already knew about, but I also discovered many artists that I wasn't yet familiar with. Fluid, yet original prose completes the very worthwhile book.
