3 out of 5 stars This book is all right.   August 27, 2001

As a seasoned life drawing artist, I felt obliged to write a review of this book, considering it has been highly rated in the other review. This book is all right for its price, but far from excellent despite the fact that works were done by the old masters. The reason, I think, is most of these drawings were done to serve as preliminary studies for oil painting projects by the old masters. Readers have a chance to see the works of the old masters to, as in my case, be inspired by the fact that excellence is a reachable commitment to any of us. I have seen better.

This book is an excellent and accessible resource for students. It has clear reproductions to analyze and draw from at a very low price. While, the entire genre of master drawings can scarcely be touched with only 44 plates, a nice selection of drawings has been chosen. I recommend it for anyone beginning their collection of fine art books, students, or someone who wants to give the subject a try without blowing a bundle on an art book. An excellent resource!
