A Dictionary of Art and Artists
Penguin Books | 1959 | ISBN: N/A | English | 460 pages | PDF | 65 MB
This dictionary covers the last seven centuries, up to Picasso and Pop Art. Short biographies off nearly 1,000 painters, sculptors, and engravers fill the greater part of it: these contain facts and dates off the artist's career, a note off galleries exhibiting his work, and an estimate off his style. The dictionary also defines artistic movements, terms applied to periods and ideas, and technical expressions and processes. The art off eastern or primitive peoples is not covered.
