This book is ideal for supplementing any art curriculum. It offers brief biographies of 100 great artists, all in one book. One page is devoted to each biography, accompanied by a drawing or picture of the featured artist. You will find the biographies of Monet, Picasso, Grandma Moses, Audubon, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Matisse, Kandinksy, and tons of others, including many you may not recognize. The interesting, informative biographies recount the artists' lives from their births, through their major life events and works of art, to their deaths. While not packed with details, the biographies offer enough information for students to learn the basics about each artist's life. This book should be sufficient for those wanting to complete an overall study of the artists but not do an in-depth study of them. The biographies are arranged in chronological order, so students can read straight through the book or you can use it as a reference to read about artists mentioned in your art curriculum. Several trivia questions and an index are included. 112 pgs. - Melissa
