*************************** ME AND THIS BOOK ***************************
Based on my experience, this book is very helpful to me as a kind of first reference to the most well-known works of some certain artists. Anyway, in several cases the works of the artists which were selected in this book was not the artists' best ones.
For instance, we can't find "the thinker" by Rodin. And in my opinion, the selected work of Rodin in this book is not his best work.
Some similar cases, for further example, we will be found on the selected works of Goya, Salvador Dali, Chagall, Picasso, Fernando Botero, Warhol, etc.
Therefore, it's very important to be considered that THE ART BOOK is not the collection of the most well-known works of the artists, but the collection of the best works of them based on the certain criteria or aesthetic standards of the editor of the book.
The Art Book presents 500 photographic reproductions of 500 great artists (painters and sculptors) from medieval to modern times; from Leonardo da Vinci to Basquiat, from Fernando Botero to Andy Warhol. Each artist is represented by a full-page color plate of a typical work, accompanied by explanatory and illuminating information on each image and its creator.
******** WHO ********
Listed here, the 500 hundred artists in THE ART BOOK a long with their selected works. (See: appendix below this page). The list will very helpful to anyone who wants to know a very details information immediately on the artists and their selected works.

Why we need to read (or buy) THE ART BOOK? It's because the book presents a kind of a novel way of looking art. The book is also very informative and easy to use, and it's an A to Z guide to 500 great artists (painters and sculptors) from medieval to modern times.
******** HOW ********
How we find the book? It's very easy. Just move your cursor to Ciao (under 'Books') or make an easy trip to Amazon. Of course, I believe, this book is also available in any big book- stores.
THE ART BOOK is like a mini Art Gallery. Very well-informed, it has quite enough details. I'll recommend this book for first year art students; for everyone who loves to read arts; and to anyone who loves to see remarkable paintings in history, from 'Mona Lisa' to the 'Café Royal in London". *

Advantages: Pocket sized Disadvantages: Does not contain all the art references you might need
...and often gets taken off the book shelf several years after studying. I like the fact it is neat, compact and fits easily into a pocket or bag meaning that you can take it with you to school, library or just out and about.
A great little starter book for any budding art student. ...

Advantages: Informative, concise, neat images Disadvantages: Small print
...great to take to galleries. The pictures are only about 15cm tall, but they're sharp, all colour and printed on quite good paper. The comments are concise combinations of history and criticism (be warned if you need reading glasses, the print is very small). Another useful feature is that each artist's page has a footnote recommended similar artists, eg. BACON: see Bosch, Manzu, Soutine, Sutherland, Velazquez. 'The Art Book' manages to skim through ...

Advantages: loads of infomation for a small price Disadvantages: hard to bend for a good look at pictures
The first time i returned home after visiting the tate modern on london's south bank, i could remember very little of what i had seen, where i had been and why i had been there. The reason was something to do with temperature. You see, the problem with an art gallery that begins its life as a tourist attraction is that it attracts tourists - many of them, all with large coats and warm breath. And as i strolled among the giacomettis, i remember feeling ... ...mints and then there were the hundreds of people that surrounded me, breathing. and so, upon my second visit, i made a point of making use of the gallery's helpful cloakroom system. It makes a lot of difference when you walk around a gallery in just a t-shirt, jeans and your 'city boots'. The one other thing i decided not to allow the cloakroom attendents to steal from me was my copy of phaidon's the art book. Small, glossy and almost a friend and ...

Advantages: Quick and simple, not too much information - no overload Disadvantages: only a bit of information on an artist and the picture is too big
...Artist, this is one of the many art books I have in my collection.
Half of these books are the kind of book you skim through looking for a well known picture or an extract of information which is a sentence and this book is one of those.
It is a collection of artists from every art background - from modernism to renaissance to aboriginal art. They are of course sorted by surname and consist of only one page per artist so you can imagine how much ... ...picture.
If you ignore the simple nature of the book, it is in itself a very handy little companion which sits in your collection.
When looking up a certain artist, you can therefore then have that little amount of information, the one main picture of that artist to your knowledge so that when you look further into you artist on the internet you are not going to be looking at another artist with the same name, which happens more than you think.

Quick review of The Art Book: Mini Edition - Phaidon Press
A greta mixture of old and new, appears at someplace to miss some contemporary artists who are unmissable, however when it explains a work you get a list of other artists, old and new that the artist in question is similar to. Explaining parts of old masters that could easily go un-known, it ,makes a gentle and interesting read. ...
