Lives of the Great Modern Artists

Plot

Creative personalities are always fascinating, and to learn something new about the 20th and 21st centuries' greatest artists--whether eccentric or sober, outspoken or reclusive--is compelling. 105 artists are presented in lively short biographies, and each entry is illustrated with important works, self-portraits, and photographs. Clearly grouped according to style and era are modern and contemporary art's pioneers, from Picasso and Duchamp to Louise Bourgeois and Jean-Michel Basquiat. New entries on rising stars such as Marlene Dumas and Zhang Xiaogang bring the book into the twenty-first century.
