Title: Good Information but No Color
Product review: Among the art books I own, this is the least used and that's a sad fact. I generally read art books from cover to cover when I first get them and this one was no exception. The information given about early modernist art is in-depth, complete and, I feel, required reading for any artist. However, when I go back to one as reference and realize the entire book has only 8 color plates in over 300 pages, I generally drop it in search of another which shows the art as it was meant to be seen. I fully understand that this is probably a college textbook and costs may have been a concern, but modernists works were not only unique for their use of shape, line and composition, they were also considered groundbreaking for their use of color. To show so little of it is a misstep in an otherwise decent book.
