"A stunning visual celebration of the world's most celebrated artists, from Giotto to Frida Kahlo, that tells the fascinating life stories behind their masterpieces. Lavishly illustrated with portraits of each painter or sculptor, as well as paintings and photographs of them at work in their studios, Artists Who Changed History explores the vision and approach of each artist, and the story of their creative development, and their friendships, loves, and rivalries. Timelines provide an accessible overview of the life of each artist, while the biographies place them in their historical context, revealing the key social and artistic factors that shaped them, and their contribution to the development of art--the legacy of their work and its influence on the artists that followed them. Feature boxes break down signature techniques in detail, while full-page reproductions showcase the visual splendor of landmark works. Directories at the end of each chapter contain brief biographies of other key artists from the period, providing the reader with an overview of art history in the process.". 20241202.
