This book is full of great paintings; a wonderful volume to enjoy on a snowy day. Rockwell as an art critic......I just can't agree with him on a lot of things. I also have to question him for inaccuracies; when he is bitching about "Monna Pomona", he goes off on a rant about the personal life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his relationship with Eleanor Siddal. Okay, close, she was Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, known as Lizzie, but shouldn't an art critic keep this stuff straight, especially when the woman was a sort of supermodel to the Pre-Rapaelites?

Oh, and by the way, whoever stole the print of Albert Joseph Moore's "A Summer Night" from this piece of public property......shame on you! ( )

992 World-Famous Paintings, edited by Rockwell Kent (read 5 Jan 1969) An easy and quick read since so much is looking at the reproductions of its subjects. ( )

Lots of Art and great background on the artist and art. ( )
