Claire d'Harcourt

Chronicle Books, 2006

What an amazing resource

We homeschool and were looking for a book to use with artist studies. This book has wonderful pictures, and points out details that were surprising to me, even on very familiar prints.

Degas' Drawings1 review
H. G. E. Degas

Dover Publications, 1973

What can be said about Degas

This is one of my favorite Dover art books. It conatins a huge amount of drawings done by Degas. Some of which are hard to find in other books because they were taken from a private collection. If you love Degas, then you must purchase this book. It is excellent.

The Complete Etchings of Rembrandt: Reproduced in Original Size3 reviews
Rembrandt, Gary D.(Editor) Schwartz

Dover Publications, 1994

Superb publication

+ Rembrandt Etchings
+ Artist and innovator.

Although budget-priced, this edition is a winner, in my opinion. All of Rembrandt's etchings are reproduced on a heavy-stock paper that is of the proper degree of shine necessary to bring out the full, crisp nuances of the etchings. The result are vividly life-like etchings that show all their ...
