However, it includes all the good stuff up till then in a highly informative and useful format... Alphabetical order of artist, a representative image for each with a brief bio and description, plus links to art movements and other related artists. Excellent glossaries of art terms and art movements.I also have the paperback 'pocket' version of this book. I must say that comparing the two, there are some big differences in the reproduction colour in about 10% of the images, where the hardback version seems to be lacking a green/yellow channel. I've seen 3 copies of the hardback and they are all like it.If your eyesight is good - buy the pocket version because the colour reproduction is more reliable. Alternatively, buy the updated version which I believe includes 21st C art, but is a lot more expensive. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good for remember all the names. *by L***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2016* Content: Good short summaries of a wide range of artists in alphabetical order. Each artist is introduced by a good quality photograph of one of their artworks. The only problem I had with the content was the selection of featured artworks. I would've preferred the most memorable paintings to be shown, when in fact it was rather random. Overall the descriptions were good and I think it'd really help second level students for their art history class to understand and remember specific artists work.Form: Its quite easy to bring around due to its compact A5 size. I'd recommend to be careful when buying second hand copies, I received mine with the front cover tipped sown the centre. But if your a student like me, it's very affordable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The travelling informant *by K***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2009* This book is absolutely brilliant! (And thats to say the least) It provides a small, but useful, description of the deeper elements to some of the paintings or background information on a particular artist. Its highly analytical, it tells you what gallery each of the paintings are in: which is useful as some gallery websites are not very informative as to the galleries content at all. I have carried it around with me since I brought it and it is still in excellent condition (I brought a used copy as well) which is perfect for travelling needs (and considering I brought it quite a while ago.) Some examples of its content:-Domenichino 'the sacrifice of Issac'-Balthus 'girl and cat'-Salvidor Dali 'sleep'-Pieter Claesz 'A vanitas still life'-Sandro Botticelli 'Spring'-Hugo Van Der Goes 'The fall of man'Just to name a few of the artists inside the book. It also includes; photo art, sculpture and textile prints and not just famous paintings. Enjoy!(Would also highly recommend for any art student who needs to demonstrate a good understanding and analysis of artist's work but unfortunately cannot afford or lives in an area far away from any gallery...I can relate!) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/47967637-the-art-book-mini-format](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/47967637-the-art-book-mini-format) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
