Overall I love this book, the pictures of the paintings are of quality (although it is difficult to accurately reproduce such great works). A feature that can also be a flaw, is that images of small works are smaller than those of larger works (see in pictures). Also in rare cases, as for archive images, postcards or other photos, the quality is not excellent, but this does not lower the volume value.

Sometimes, for horizontal paintings, the images are rotated to allow the page to be better occupied. In addition, the texts, very interesting, help the artist's understanding. The layout provides on the left page the characteristics of the work (title, date, technique and dimensions), and on the right page the work in question. Recommended to lovers of art and beautiful monographs.

Lovely, lovely art, good quality repro, though I feel somewhat aggrieved in buying an expensive new book with a bashed corner. It is a magnificent volume that contains many works by the artist.
