"I first read this book when it was published and I found it a superb introduction to graphic art generally beginning with the Renaissance and moving forward to the early 20th century. … I would recommend a slow reading and thoughtful absorption of the material to anyone with a serious intellectual and emotional interest in learning the basics of classic art and art history of the eras covered by the author." [from a private review]

"Bernard Kielty has compiled great artists in one book categorizing them by locale. You will find the artists works along with historical information on their life and times. It is a wonderful addition to any artist or historians library. A must have." [from a review]
